currently have 130 coil u turn revs on it, thinking of either swapping these for set of 454 coil pikes i have on the titus or splashing out for some u turnrev maxle lite or reba 120 maxle lite. ANyoen ridden any of the new forks and make any comments. 399 for the reba or 420 for the revs
ta
Revs are £360 here - http://www.bikeoutlet.co.uk/catalog/Front_Suspension_Forks-50-1.html
cheers thats helping the decision at the momement, but are the reba's a better fork as it is totally new the revs are the oldpike lowers?
Seems a fair swap. 😀

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).
