I got a 2024 Hightower cc frame this year and built it up. I HIGHLY recommend getting a 160MM travel fork. SCc says you can run a 160mm and it's much better. It does make it about half a degree slacker which falls more in line with the geometry of the new 2025 v4 HT. I run a Fox FLoat X for the shock. I have tried the RS SDU and it's very nice too, but the float X is more supportive on the flat and climbing, poppy over jumps and shines on DH chunk. I found the RS SDU to soak up mild bumps better... I think.

@@rmhfpv9225 dude that’s awesome! Another one of our buddies swapped his front fork for 160 as well and he loves it. Thanks for watching. 🙌🏽
I’ve never ridden a Lyrik fork, but have heard a lot of good things. I’m interested in trying one.
@@shawnmartin9286 Lyrik is dreamy! I sure love it.
