Is a review of the Forbidden Dreadnought coming to the channel? Haven't been seeing much about that bike online
Definitely upgrading.
does zeb ultimate differ with anything other from zeb select? i think of upgrading to charger 3.1 but don't know if anything other than the dampers needs to be changed

So Ultimate and Select are diffferent in the damper, buttercups, and bushings. You can essentially upgrade your select fork to the Ultimate by getting the new damper assembly (which will come with buttercups installed), and adding buttercups to your airshaft.
Tool question. Where do I find the crescent wrench for the torque wrench at 12:31 in the video? Thanks.

This in a Lyrik or new Fox Grip X? I just sold my ZEB last week. My bike is hanging on the stand waiting for a new fork
@hannes6114

Why did you sell your fork? What do you want different to the Zeb with the new fork? There is a video from Pinkbike that compares the new Zeb with the new 38 and I think those characteristics of the bigger forks should translate to the smaller forks, maybe not though, one obvious difference is that the Lyrik is gonne be less precise compared to the 36 since it flexes a bit more and you might not be able to get your rebound and compression exactly right since one click does more difference in rockshox forks compared to Fox, Rockshox is cheaper though and with the shim stack kits you could theoretically get your damping exactly right, even with Rockshox

Just depends on what you are looking for in a fork. Not going to go wrong with either the Charger 3.1 Lyrik or the GripX 36. If you like a more supple feel the Lyrik is probably the move, and if you want more support the 36 is probably the right move!

Charger 3 and 3.1 is only compatible with the D1 and D2 generation of Lyrik chassis. If you are not sure which generation lyrik you have you can headover to the RockShox Trailhead app or website and input your seriel number and it will tell you which generation fork you have

If you don't care about the independent adjustment, it seems there was no noticeable on-trail performance upgrade to charger 2.1. They just changed the working principle to IFP. But it's nice that the manual suggests the shimstack for lighter or heavier riders again. They already had this in the charger 1 days.
