Rockshox Revelation Air v Coil

shivadread

Sorry if this question has been brought up before but what is the difference between Rockshox Revelation Air and Coil.

I like the sound of the Coil U-Turns as they cover 85-130 whereby the Air U-Turns cover only 100-130. Also there is a big price difference between the two. Which are the most reliable and better ones

air fork is lighter however is a little pricier than coil, also air is much easier to adjust and tune to your body weight wheras coil forks require a change of spring if you are anything over or under average weight. I have the fixed travel 130mm air version and it is a great fork.

I had the same question and went for the coil U-turn in the end

A: as I wanted the u-turn adjustability

B: I`ve had air forks before and wanted a bit more plushness (at the penalty of slightly more weight)

The coil Revs certainly deliver on all the above

Thanks for that, the next question is what weight is average for a coil fork. I'm 6"1 and 13.5 stone.

IIRC all the Rockshox range are set for rider around 70kg. If you look on the RS website they are listed.

I`m 13 stonw and my revs seem ok sag wise although I think they`re still to bed in fully.
I think your weight would be fine for the coils but I`m not an expert.
