Have had the revelation xx carbon steerer jobs in my hand. They are hella light. I would have them over a 32 if money was no object.

Glad this thread popped up as I’m shopping for some 150mm forks too and narrowed it down to these two. One thing that I can’t make my mind up on though is the multitude of different models in each range. RLC, FIT, dual air, TALAS, etc etc ?!

this is my next choice after i finaly decide on my frame .. But i think i am settled on Revs .. nowt but good things to say about Rock Shox kit i have had and Fisher service if i have had an issue and they have all been minor

150mm is too long for an ASR 5. Do you want to keep your warranty?

I had a 150mm Talas and it’s rides better with a 140mm

I went for the Rev World Cups, but not XX as they were lighter again. Lack of hydraulic lock-out which I would never use on a fork. Been on the bike for about 10 months now, and have had a week in Morzine. No issues at all.
I have no probs with the carbon crown & steerer.

Both are great forks though really.

Am I right in thinking xx revs have different damping/ compression settings that are a bit xc-biassed compared the model below?

DON’T FORGET THE MOJO UPGRADE PROGRAM FOR ALL THINGS FOX.

Nice bike!

Looking at the options I would ask why your considering Talas or XX? A Talas fork never performs as well as Float due to the travel adjust gubbins getting in the way of smooth stroke, and the XX fork’s Lockout feature also means that the XX fork does not have the same great performing damper as the normal WC or RC3 Rev… so both of these options give up ultimate suspension performance for questionable gimickry (IMHO), and extra cost.

A Float 32 RLC or Revelation WC would be the perfect fork for this bike as I can see little need for either lockout or travel adjust – IMHO lockout & travel adjust let people you have set their bike up badly fiddle with it and use it as an crutch/excuse for their poor riding. Better off having the right length fork and learning to ride the bike with it set up like that.

Revelation RC at 140mm (or 120) for the win by the way 8)

Set your fork at 130mm and use it for everything? But if you really want more travel adjusting the travel on Revs or 32’s is not very difficult so probably worth experimenting with anyway. However; IMHO longer travel is not the be-all-and-end-all for the mountains… I’ve found all the my bikes to ride best with one fork length – changing the fork length even by 10-20mm can mess up the feel of the bike too much (IMHO).

I’ve just fitted a set of Revelation RLT Ti’s to my Nicolai and they’re awesome forks.

Any 32 or Rev can be set at 120/130/140 with internal spacers.

Look on ebay as their is a seller from singapore I believe who sells Fox forks. My friend got a set of 2012 Fox Talas 140 FIT with Kashima for £520 delivered and they are the real thing. Can’t go wrong at that price.
