"The most significant change is the move to the LinearXL air spring. RockShox is chasing a 'coil-like' feel, meaning a consistent, predictable increase in force as you move through the travel."
"To tackle speed sensitivity, RockShox introduced two clever features: AirAnnex™, which expands volume in the lower legs to reduce pressure build-up, and small breather holes in the stanchions that allow air volume to increase as the fork compresses."
"Friction is the enemy of any fork, and the new ButterWagonTech™ features a proprietary matrix of 'divots' that act like little buckets, carrying fresh Maxima oil up to the bushings with every single millimeter of movement."
"The Charger 3 damper was already a high-water mark, but the Charger 3.2 has been re-tuned specifically to play nice with the new LinearXL spring, ensuring silent performance."
The 2027 Lyrik and ZEB from RockShox feature a complete redesign, emphasizing a new LinearXL air spring for a coil-like feel. This design addresses speed sensitivity with two innovations: AirAnnex™, which reduces pressure build-up in the lower legs, and strategically placed breather holes in the stanchions. Additionally, the ButterWagonTech™ aims to minimize friction through a unique divot system that maintains consistent performance. The Charger 3.2 damper has been re-tuned to enhance compatibility with the new spring, ensuring silent and effective performance.
