[Closed] BB Motion Control v Motion Control - Which Revelations?

[#2133866]

Would somebody care to explain the real world differences? It's been a few years since I owned Rockshox forks- early Revs in fact, and the damping wasn't a patch on Fox imo back then.
So, 2011 RS RLT Revs with moco for a touch over £300 or 2010 RS Rev Teams, with BB moco for £450 or so.
I can only see the damper as the difference between these two- is the blackbox worth the difference? Or am I better off buying the RLT's and getting them Pushed if need be?

Black box have a shimmed (speed sensitive ) rebound damper like push fit to rs forks, but also a shimmed compression circuit.

My understanding is that the compassion shim stack is only active after the flood gate has opened, which seems to be a bit of a strange setup.

In summary, it is broadly the same as getting a moco fork pushed

see here for a bettter explanation!:
