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. :D

    If you don't really need the weight and extra 30mm travel get the Rebas.

    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'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.

    Reba, not much call to go over 100mm.
