Recon 351 vs Revelation 426

Crazy Geezer

Hey guys.. considering purchasing either 1 of the two forks... as they are both in the price range i am looking at..

Just wanted to know.. which would be better for me, ie,

what are these forks good for?

which would be the better to go for?

nicklouse

what frame?

how much travel do you want?

steel or ally steerer?

Crazy Geezer

For a specialized hardrock...

Want quite abit of travel.. nothing downhill or free-ride like just pure trailing and jumps of all sorts...

light as possible i guess

nicklouse

sorry neither fork really, as the most travel i would put on that frame is MAX 120mm

you would do better looking at a recon XC 2009 (eg the 100mm version)

Or any 100-120mm fork.

Crazy Geezer

surely an extra centemetre (08 edition) or 2 (09 revelation) wont be that bad will it?!?!

supersonic

it alters the angles and invalidates your warranty.
