  • Is a Revelation any stiffer than a Reba?

    If all other things are the same (15mm, tapered, 650b, 120mm, RL).

    I see the Rev is a little heavier (but longer travel).

    Do they share the same crown, steerer, legs?

    Any actual difference except for travel options?

    Ta.

    As far as I understood, they’re made the same, but with the rev being longer travel, and having longer stanchions, if you put both side by side, both set to, say 120mm travel, the Rev would be stiffer because there’s more leg/stanchion overlap.

    I might be well rong, tho. It’s happened before.

    I’ve ran a 2012 reba and 2011 rev on my old soul and the rev was noticeably stiffer, the bike didn’t get pinged around the same in rock gardens and rough descents. Comparing them side by side, the crown of the rev was noticeably bigger than the reba, everything else looked fairly similar.

    Yes , I find the rebas too flexy in 29er 120mm spec. so run Revs lowered instead.
    I’m quite a large chap though
