The price is almost same. Both of them use air. Their travel is 130 mm. Weight is equal too - about 1.7 - 1.8 kg (Manitou is a bit heavier). Your comments? Maybe you've been using one of them? Thanx.

p.s. My bike is all-mountain hardtail. I want to upgrade it :-)

    two very different forks.

    a good one and a poor one.

    dont get the manitou.

    Thanx a lot for your comments. Don't you know what "115,130 mm" mean? Is it sold in 2 variants? Air-U-Turn is too expensive for me.

    the non u-turn is known as all travel. what ever you get you also get some spacers that you can use to change the travel.

    NB. to fit change the spacers is a bigish job and is almost a full service.

    but you are not stuck with the travel the fork comes set at.

    Thanx again for quick answer! :-) Hm...Reba Race Dual Air 2007 is sold for exactly same price as Revelation Race Dual Air.... It's a bit lighter and it's only 100 mm travel. I don't know what to buy :-((((

    same situation you can change the travel as well.

    reba is a nice fork in the XC group whil the revalation is in the AM group.

    max travel on revalation 130mm, reba 115mm.

    Can u fit 130mm travel to a hardtail without either radically altering the geometry or overly straining the headtube? What bike u got?

    All depends on what travel the bike was designed round. Most are a range with an 'ideal'.

    DON'T hijack threads in tec or it all gets very confusing. START you own.
