Amazon list a [url= https://www.amazon.com/RockShox-Revelation-RCT3-Solo-Air/dp/B008C0PLDG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1484787426&sr=8-2&keywords=revelation+rct3%2C+QR ]Revelation RCT3 with 150mm travel, 9mm QR, and 1-18 steerer.[/url]. My feeling is that this is a mistake. Obviously, the picture is incorrect, but Amazon often just use stock photos. Question is, did RockShox make a 150mm Revelation with a straight 1-1/8 steerer?

Yup, for years- though I don't know if they made this exact combo

Sram tech docs list everything they have made if you want to check. Think they were doing straight stuff recently

Thanks. I assumed they stopped making straight steerers years ago on the longer travel forks.

Funnily enough I bought a pair of 150 (I'm pretty sure) Revs with a straight steerer, they were RL model again pretty sure not RCT3.

Here is a pic of them

I've had 2 sets 150mm Revs with straight steerer in different flavours over the years.

Reassuring to hear that they do actually exist. I went through the parts manual on the SRAM website as per mikewsmith's suggestion and they do list a 1-1/8 steerer. That still left the question of whether they actually sold a 150mm travel version with 9mm QR and straight steerer. Wouldn't be a big deal to rebuild a wheel with a new hub, but a tapered steerer would be a problem. Seeing a photo is reassuring.

We have a 150 mm qr Revelation RTC3 with a straight steerer fitted to a Chameleon. Bought it from the classifieds on here last year. They are white.
