Basically I'm trying to decide on the 150mm Sektor with 15mm or 140mm Rev with 9mm QR for the 456.

The Sektor will mean new wheels, but apparently the Rev is flexy and my riding style is 'through' rather than over as I'm hopeless at getting any sort of space between tyres and ground, but I don't really ride anything that rough apart from fire breaks, bomb holes and the increasing numbe of trees that people are throwing across the MX trails.

Any suggestions before I commit the cash?

    They'll be replacing the Tora 318 Coil Uturns on the 456.

    Get the Revs, I had them on my reign, they are only Flexy when your pushing hard in corners you don't really feel it other than that, easy to set up and very plush.

    If you went with Sektor and had to buy new wheels thats gonna be best part of £600, not worth it imo.

    iv got the dual air revs on my KHS, they are Maxle rather than QR but still iv noticed no flex in the stantions at all.

    but i can say the same about the Sektors that i had on the Mongoose aswell. they were also QR and U-turn spring but they were still pretty unbendy!
