Looking hard at forks for between £200 and £300.
Both these forks on wiggle at £250 - ish RS Revelation426 dual air & RS Reba Race Dual Air.
Only difference I can see is extra 30mm travel on revelation plus a bit of weight.
Also really interested in Fox 32 Vanilla R which seems to be around £300 ish but is coil not air.
Does anyone have any preferences on these three choices? Not sure I need 130mm as Dalby Red route is about as extreme as my riding gets.

If you don't really need the weight and extra 30mm travel get the Rebas.2006 Giant XTC
2010 Giant Defy Advanced
2016 Boardman Pro 29er
2016 Pinnacle Lithium 4
2017 Canondale Supersix Evo0 -
What frame you putting it on ? I would say the Rebas and Revs are two very good choices.___________________________________________________________

They're to replace the stock Marzocchi MZ 2 on my Kona Caldera. She deserves something nice up front i reckon.I hate it when people say David Beckham's stupid...its not like anyone ever says: 'Stephen Hawking - he's s**t at football.' Paul Calf0

I'd go with the Reba's. Possibly the best 100mm fork at the mo.
Your frame might not take a 130mm fork as it's 100mm as stock, so a 130mm fork could invalidate your warranty & could snap your frame, but it will make the handling a lot slower than it is now due to the slacker head angle with a longer fork.0 -
reba's are good0

Reba, not much call to go over 100mm.0
