    With a hefty price and weight range spanning these forks, deciding between each may be challenging. In this video, Mike gives an overview of the three RockShox 38mm offerings and compares them to help figure out which is best for you and your riding style.

      If you sent 50 riders out on the domain to do a loop on a given bike, then afterwards you sent them out again on the same bike except this time you told them it was the zeb (which was in fact the same domain but you swapped the decals for zeb) 9 out of 10 would say the “zeb” was so much better.

    Built up a friends hardtail with the Domain last year and was really impressed with it actually but we might upgrade to the 2.1 soon. I did ride a Zeb Ultimate for a while before that and they feel quite similar as said. The Domain is the sluggish little brother and a perfectly fine fork for rough stuff at its price point.

    Yes, once you've ridden a fork with separate LSC/HSC and learn how to use HSC you won't go back. I went from a RS 35 Gold (Domain's little brother) on my previous bike to a DVO Onyx SC on my current bike, night and day difference. The Motion control damper is very chattery over high speed chatter, braking bumps, etc. It also required constant messing with volume spacers to get big hit bottom out resistance and had no appreciable mid-stroke in any setting. The Onyx does everything well, without using volume spacers at all, the HSC works wonderfully for big hits, the LSC and OTT setting can be set up to give you both good small bump compliance and still resist fork dive, and the mid-stroke is exceptional. It rides better than any Grip 2 36 I've demoed, I've not ridden a RS Lyrik or Zeb to compare yet, nor have I been able to try a 38 yet.

    You should ride the Select and give it a good go. Most new Enduro bike under 4k come with the Select or a 38 Grip. No one really reviews the OE dampers and people want to know what they got or what their missing. My Select is plush AF and I don't need to sacrifice the comfort like I did on my Lyric RC when smashing.

      @prajwalpingali 2 роки тому

      Dude you're totally right, it gets a bit hard to judge what we're getting when everyone is reviewing almost always the top of the line stuff. I recently upgraded to an Enduro bike with the Zeb select and my god I have never ploughed through so much jank in my life with such ease! It's fairly plush and does reflect what Mike said that it isn't the most sensitive so you do occasionally feel it bounce (rarely, yet still tracks so well.) In my opinion the Zeb select works perfectly for anyone with more cash for a Zeb instead of domain and wants in on some really sensitive and plush ride feel.

    • @TheLostCo
      @TheLostCo  2 роки тому +1

      That would be a fun video!! Concerning your question, personally it mostly depends on the riding application as opposed to comparing a "nicer" fork or not. For example, if I am headed out to ride some gnarly lines, hit some larger drops, ride fast over rooty or rocky terrain, I am grabbing that Domain 10 times out of 10. If I am headed going for a longer pedal, or more of trail ride with less "aggressive" terrain, then I'll grab the Lyrik. That's not to say that 35mm forks can't handle gnarlier terrain, it's just that the Domain does it better and will be more forgiving.

      The damper in your fork is indeed the same as the Domain. What will set the Domain apart is, of course, the 38mm stanchions and the stiffer chassis. If you are looking for more support through chunky terrain or on bigger hits, the Domain could be a fine option.

      That’s a downgrade… fox dampers are miles ahead of RS motion control. The Domain is just a thicker Yari with the same decade old damper rockshox has been using for way too long. My Yari was horrible on braking bumps and big hits because the damper was just not advanced enough (despite being serviced regularly). Then I got a fox 36 performance and its way better and smoother, though maybe a bit less plush, which gives it a lot more confidence to go faster. The problem was never the stanchion size, it’s the shit damper. It’s just a trend to go thicker even though it’s heavier, has more stiction, and makes forks unnecessarily stiff.

      @@rubenvor you already have the fox 36 so it would be at zero cost? also I’ve raced both forks and I have no reason to be biased toward one or the other. Fox simply performed way better. A bike shop will always promote the newest product because they need to make sales. There’s a reason none of those people run the domain on their personal bikes.

    30mm markhor fork can withstand known 140kg rider on YT doing drops and quite frankly hammering this fork pretty seriously for what it's intended, so you must have those 38mm for mild ride around the park, weighting 85kg, oh yes....

      30mm stanchions are really skinny and would scare me on every jump or drop.

    I got a new bike my first ebike a Trek Rail 5 about 6 months ago it came with Rockshox Gold RL which has been fair at best. My last bike had a Lyrik and i loved it both are 160. The Rail 7 came stock with a Domain which is what i wanted but a long backorder (wait) so i went this way. Do you believe i should upgrade to the Domain will it be noticeable over the Gold RL. The Zeb a little $.

    • @TheLostCo
      @TheLostCo  Рік тому +1

      I'd recommend trying to go in between the price of the Domain and Zeb by getting the Marzocchi Bomber Z1. I personally like the GRIP damper better than the Motion Control damper in entry level RockShox forks.
      However, the Domain will definitely feel better than the Gold RL you have. It would be more stiff and more plus for sure! You can even upgrade to the Charger 3 RC2 in the future if you'd like, but at that point it would have been better to just save the money initially and get a ZEB Ultimate.

I might upgrade the damper next year, but anyway, i belive it should works really good with the motion control. What do u thinkg fam? Is it going to be a good upgrade? (I was thinking about the Domain and the yari, i need to change my fork because my current fork stem is to short, and getting an 38mm for USD600 would be incredible)

      Better and plusher bump absorption on the Lyrik ultimate, but a little less stiff.
      I’d definitely settle for the Lyrik ultimate if they cost the same or you already have it.
      Most riders never use the stiffness that the 38mm will give them.
      If you ride ews you may need it, but the average rider can handle everything with 36mm.

      Great question! With out knowing too much more, I think the Lyrik would be sufficient for you. If you are riding very aggressive (hitting big drops, jumps, fast and chunky terrain) then I might suggest you consider the ZEB. It also depends on your bike and travel as well.

    @mediasucks 2 роки тому +3

    Surprised this doesn't mention the Domain R, which has.....no compression damper, just a plastic spacer that screws into the top of the stanchion.
    The Domain also has very narrow bushings, that are glued into the lowers (rather than pressed in). Hence the reduced maximum travel. And, like the Rockshox 35 forks with similar glued-in cheap, narrow bushings - expect lots of failed glue bushing issues.

    • @mrvwbug4423

      Never had that issue with the RS 35 Gold that I had on my previous bike, but it was still a chattery AF fork that required constant messing with volume spacers and never had any appreciable mid-stroke and a next to useless LSC adjustment (you had 3 clicks of non-existent, 1 click of rock hard, 1 click of locked out).
