Spot on, cant fault them. Buy them so you can look as awesome as me (almost)
Couldn't you just buy an RC2 cartridge and fit that?
Wasthinking about it, but not been impressed with the length of life in the fox forks i have had i service the regular but the uppers always wear out in 2years, and small bump always has seemed to be lacking..0 -

You have got a good fork you all in a minute in you!How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

Tapered steerers reduce fore and aft flex. Bigger axles reduce twist in the fork. Dual crowns reduce both.
I would always take a bigger axle over tapered steerer. My old Pikes with a straight steerer and 20mm axle were stiffer than my revelations with tapered steerer and 15mm axle.
The old pikes have a lot more meat on them than Revs though, from memory aren't they a good half a lb or heavier? I'm still really surprised that one of the mags haven't done a back to back test with a fork like the Rev, you could get them with all different steerers, all major axle sizes, would be interesting to see some scientific data on it.0 -

I'd love to see that. Blind tests too. Independant assessment, and as many MBR journalists as possible
(I use straight-steerer Revelations, but used to have them in a carbon 456 with tapered headtube, a mate rode it and was absolutely sure you could feel the added stiffness of the tapered fork it didn't have)
Pikes, depends which version, the heaviest one was heavier than an air Lyrik, the lightest one was almost the same fork as the old maxle Rev 426.Uncompromising extremist0 -

Regular solo air. Probably more reliable and cheaper too0

only a few bucks in it, but duel comes in white to match up to the bike... can't solo in anything other than black while nosing.0

Depends on the bike tbh, I like my u-turn in one bike as it does help it climb, the other works well at full length so I never use it. Just decide if you think it'll be useful, basically.
If you decide you've got the wrong one, you can change it later though it does mean replacing quite a few parts so isn't cheap.Uncompromising extremist0 -
