Is it worth upgrading a SID Team 2007 with dual air and motion control to a 2012 model (either SID or Reba), or are they pretty much the same other than the tapered steerer and QR15 options?

Thanks, Chris

Got a 2011 120mm SID rlt ti and have to say it seems as stiff as older pairs of Rebas etc - a proper trail fork. Older, and dare I say it, current 80-100mm SID versions seem very flexy in comparison. I run my fork shortened to 100mm which makes it a stiff 15qr light fork - much better than the 100mm version for my use I think.

SID's have gone from 28mm to 32mm stanchions, and the arch is very similar to Reba's now would be the main differences; so a 2012 fork will be much stiffer than a 2007 version.

Will be numerous others depending on the model you are looking at.

Currently using a 2011 SID RLT, very happy with it.
