The version has an especially short offset of 42mm

Ah yes - is this a problem? Why? I’ll google it but I trust you lot more than the rest of the internet;)

Edit: it increases trail, thereby making steering less twitchy on a slack HT angle frame, as I understand it. Sounds logical. I should buy that fork, shouldn’t I?

Edit2: mbr sums it up: “ In other words, it’s yet another thing we can all needlessly argue about. Woo!”

Honestly, you will not notice any difference in steering at all by using a fork with a slightly different offset.

I use lyriks with a 37mm offset on a bike that was originally specced with 42mm or 44mm offset forks and there is zero detectable difference once riding.

Thanks for the reassurance. Yeah on a mtb I can’t imagine anyone really noticing now that I’ve thought about it. On a road bike yes but not bouncing about in the woods. At least not at my minimal skill level!
