Is anything letting you down at the minute? What is your budget?

Nothing really just the chain making alot off noise hitting the side when jumping. i would be upgrade a bit at a time, dont have a big budget round about the 200 mark

How big jumps do you do? This is not a jump bike.

Not big jumps just when iam racing though the woods nothing more then 2ft really

If chainslap is an issue I would recommend the first upgrade is a neoprene chainstay guard. £7.

As above, and new, damped forks like Suntour Raidon. Then new tyres.

Or an old inner tube fixed with some cable ties. Free

Having looked at the spec on a Revel 1, I agree with SS. Forks and Tyres definitely order of the day. Some decent volume light tyres should set you back no more than £50 a pair, and forks around £150.
