Find the spare parts catalogue on the sram site and check the part numbers of the respective dampers. I suspect it will work assuming stanchion size is the same

In my experience it probably won't be - I tried swapping a remote RLT damper from same year reba to revs & the stanchion thickness of the revs must be slightly thicker so the reba damper wouldn't fit in the revs forks whereas the revs damper was a sloppy (ooer) fit in the reba forks.

Edit - depends how old, it its 2006-2009 era you will prob be fine, later & you'll have same problems as me above

Suppose there's 2 questions, will it physically fit, and will it work well- oil levels and that might be different. But you can see if it fits by seeing if it fits ๐Ÿ˜‰

From the spare parts catalogue ( https://sram-cdn-pull-zone-gsdesign.netdna-ssl.com/cdn/farfuture/QXO-7yvHRMSbuNn0y3Al5HftmjvfJAVC1JPJoI9ra5M/mtime:1372788171/sites/default/files/techdocs/2012_rockshox_spc_rev_c.pdf)

11.4015.544.[b]050[/b] Compression Damper, Crown Adjust, Motion Control DNA (includes comp and floodgate knobs)
2012 SID RLT (120mm only)

11.4015.544.[b]110[/b] Compression Damper, Motion Control DNA, Crown Adjust - 2012 Revelation RLT (includes compression knob)

So it's a different part number at least.

If they're (the compression dampers) are the same length it should work fine, as long as top cap threads are the same (not got a pair to hand to double check)
