I went from 426 coil pikes to 454 air u-turn pikes that had been pushed (major improvement BTW).

I've just got some 120mm Reba teams with a maxle and with the black box damping they are on par with the pushed pikes, but,
over 1 lb lighter!!!

they had them at just under £400 here,

they would be my reccommendation

that looks very nice, was sold on the revs at 365 posted but seeing that pic has tempted me by the rebas again, 400gramms difference in weight willit be that noticable?

Personally, unless I was using the Soul for racing, I wouldn't want the front to feel too light. Everyone's different I suppose and it depends on the type of terrain you ride but I like the way my Pike just bludgeons it's way through rougher stuff.

The damping may be a bigger decider. The Reba teams have black box damping, which is MUCH better than the std motion control, which is what the revs have I believe

and yes you will notice a 1 lb difference, i did, between the pikes 9(4.75) and the rebas (3.55).
