Looking for some replacement forks for my Canyon Nerve 29er which currently has Fox 32 110mm travel. Does anyone have any thoughts on the below? Not sure too much what difference Solo Air makes
So the options are looking like:
REBA RL Solo Air

REBA RL

Another REBA RL Solo Air - does this have an unusual offset at 51mm?

An finally a REBA RLT - not sure if there is any difference between RL and RLT?

Difference between the first two is just the model year, they are both solo air.
The third is the same as the second.
The Merlin offering is shorter travel (100mm v 120mm).Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -

Not quite, the merlin ones are either 100 or 120.
RLT adds threshold adjustment over the RLs0 -
LOL yes, says 100mm in the specs but you have the option of buying the 120's to the right hand sside, typical Merlin Dodgy listing!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

They probably all were to be honest, merlin for one are a bit slack at updating their pictures but their product code suggests 2015. Either way though it's a good fork and a good purchase.0
