There are two versions: one has the 20mm bolt through lowers, the other the same as last year. Both upped to a max of 140mm of travel. Air sytem and dampers have been slightly revised.0

so no difference performance and feature wise..
ive been looking for the 08 revelation and everywhere i see it listed it has 130mm travel rather than the 09's 140mm? this true?0 -
The performance will be different as the bolt through lowers increase fork stiffness. But the internals are the same.
Yep, 08 max was 130mm; o9 max is 140mm.0 -
You need a specific hub with a 20mm axle (axle actually comes with the fork). Rather than a QR clamp sytem, you slide the axle through the hub and into the oversized fork lowers, and then clamp it. It increases the torsional stiffness of the fork.
Can be clearly seen here:

Some use different methods to secure the axle.0
