Well it seems I may have spoken too soon as I've typed the serial number from the forks into srams site and all corresponds to what I have... Apart from the wheelsize is supposed to be 29
2019 yari lowers aren't the same as 2018 it seems
This is interesting as I ordered them to use on 27.5+. So will wait and see.

This is interesting as I ordered them to use on 27.5+. So will wait and see.
Same here, other than I jumped the gun and ordered some anyway.
Yes, i also got 27.5's, but as they're going on 27.5 bike i'm very pleased. Was going to run 29 in there as there's not much difference, but it's a bonus they come already in the right size.
If they are 27.5 and someone's thinking of returning them I'd be interested in buying them off you instead.
Mine arrived and alas are indeed 27.5''.
A 2.35'' 29er just fits but not useable - I wanted to check that they had the right sticker on the legs!
Interestingly (or not) they are the only RS debonair fork that does't have "debonair" printed // etched on the stanction. To me this is possibly supportive of Transporters comment above.
They were also "dropped" over our back gate which has resulted in some damage - these'll be returned tomorrow.
I've got a pair too - 27.5 with Debonair spring sticker on the leg.
I also got a pair of Lyriks for £350. Apart from the internals, the lowers/crown look pretty much identical.
Both have the poo-brown decals.
Anyone received the revs yet? I can't collect mine til Thurs, but interested to know what i can expect to receive. 🤞 29 revs. Not bothered what colour stickers!
Ordered both revs came today 29er debonair.
Balls, another set of 650b ones here.
Just received mine today. Tan graphics and also 27.5. No use to me as I already have 27.5 170mm Yari, I was hoping to turn my G170 into a 29er. Back they go I guess.
Anybody tried to stick a 27.5 x 2.8 in theirs yet?
My Revs arrived today. Definitely 29er Debinair. Graphics more orangey than green though.
Supplied with a couple of tokens but loose in a brown box, the back of the crown had been pushed through and has a chunk of paint missing.
29 Revs arrived fine 🙂
Mine arrived today. Yaris. Deffo 27.5. In good order though (no nicks or dents from the minimal packaging) and definitely Boost. I don't even mind the 'bronze' graphics.
Only question remaining for me now is whether a 27.5+ will squeeze in there, but I don't yet have such a wheel/tyre combo to check.
Yep. Revs as ordered but minimal packaging and crown had gone through the box. Still, superb value. Thanks for the PSA.
Yaris arrived this afternoon they’re 27.5,luckily I ordered the 29er revalations at the same time to see which I preferred. looks like the decisions been made for me.
For those asking about 2.8 tyres : I run a 2.8 NN in a 2017 27.5 Yari non boost. It works but tight in the mud. Paint is suffering !! So I was advised to go to 29 as Boost alone is not enough (the irony) hence me ordering this following the kind PSA.
So of course a 27.5 turned up today arghhhhh.
But on 2018 models, RS have added 10mm of longitudinal clearance on top of the tyre without affecting axle to crown (I think). So in short, 2.8 will be fine !! Will take a pic when fitted.
I measured min clearance in mm, so distance between axle and bottom of the arch/bridge :
2017 27.5 100mm Yari = 365
2017 29 100mm Yari = 385
2018 27.5 110mm Yari = 375
Needless to say the 10mm gain is invaluable when you start with 3 or 4 mmm...Without having to resort to the long offset and axle crown of the 29.
So thank you CRC for selling me the wrong fork.
Thanks nickfrog. Reassuring.
Really wish i'd ordered the Rev's now. I've order an air shaft and boost torque caps to suit these Yari's to, but they'll be going back.
I'm hoping some of the returned yaris appear on crc's site as I missed out and I'm after 27.5
My 27.5" Yari arrived today too. Did anyone actually get the correct one?
So after an investigation by crc, I've been informed that they no longer have these in stock and they will honour any warranty issues I may have in the future as they have notes on file should I want to keep them.

I tried a 29er wheel in them with a spesh purgatory 2bliss 2.25 on and it has about 5-10mm clearance to the crown and acres of room either side.
Mine have arrived and they say on the leg 27.5 but if you put the serial number into here.

It says 29+ so CRC description was correct for me. Will try a 27.5+ and a 29 in it tomorrow as would like the option of both.

/blockquote>Are you sure? I checked mine and the model name it gives is 29+, but then the wheel size is given as 27.5. So it looks like the problem might actually be SRAM causing confusion rather than CRC. Going to try a 29" wheel in it to be sure, but holding it side by side with a 29er fox fork I have to hand, the length is significantly different, so almost certain it's 27.5.
Hay Doug I literally just had time to check the s/n and look at the forks, I will be able to compare with 29er forks tomorrow and check the 2 wheel sizes as well, bottom line is I mainly want them for 27.5+ so as long as they fit that they where a bargain, 29er wheel fitting would have been a bonus.
Same here box says the right info but the fork is a 27.5 I will try my boost wheel and 2.6 tyre in it later and see
A 2.6 27.5 derbaron projekt fits with no issues
Mine arrived yesterday and they are 27.5
I was going to send them back later this week but if anyone near Scottish Borders wants them and can collect, then happy to pass them on for the price I paid. If no one is interested I'll return them to CRC on Thursday/Friday.
My Yaris turned up yesterday as 27.5 as well but I also bought a set of revs. Turns out I don't want either of the now.
So if someone in West Sussex and some parts of Surrey/Hampshire wants a set of
170mm Yaris 27.5
Or
150mm revs 29
I am happy to pass them on at the same cost as I paid crc. If not I will be returning them.
So I’ve had a look at mine and with a 27.5 2.8 magic Mary on a i45 rim I’m happy with the clearance so all good. I tried a 29 2.25 racing Ralph on a i29 rim but I didn’t have a valve so it wasn’t inflated but seemed like it will be fine. Not masses of clearance but ok. I held them up against a fox float 29 I’ve got and the arch is definitely lower on the Yari but hay ho. I’m going to keep mine.
what part of the borders Eemy?
If anyone wants an actual set of 29er 170mm Yaris (or 160mm Lyrics) give me a shout...
That’s one of those forks with a 27.5 2.8 Nobby Nic on a 30mm internal rim. It gives 15mm of clearance all round. Brilliant. Axle to crown is 555, which is only 13mm more than my 2017 Yari. The RS online thing returns 29+ for the serial number which makes no sense but may explain why those are sold as 29 even though they clearly aren’t…

I might missed an answer but did anyone received correct 29" version? I had chitchat with them today and they aware of problem but they not sure whether that issue is applicable to all forks or only some of them.
Finally picked up my rev today. Came with two tokens. Not checked yet whether any already installed. Looks a quality fork for 200!
I have a 120mm non-debonair shaft I bought for my pike. Does anyone know whether this would work in place of the debonair shaft the rev came with? Or should i just spend 34 on a new debonair shaft?
Any advice appreciated.
The problem seems to be Sram’s description of the forks which is Yari RC 29+ but wheel size is 27.5. Not entirely crc’s fault but a quick look at an actual fork would have sorted it out.
On a side note mine are going on my Dartmoor primal+ which is for 150mm forks do I just need a new air shaft? Sorry not needed to do a travel change before so new to me.
I was going to keep mine but the yari are 10mm shorter than my 29" forks I have on and are a different offset so my head angle will be steeper, and that's before I shorten my travel to 150mm so mine are up for sale in the next day or so unless crc get back to me to say they have the correct stock at the same price then I will return

I would try the bike on 170mm for a laugh, you might like it. Should give you 1 deg less of head angle but thats partially absorbed by the 46mm offset (assuming you come from less) from a trail point of view.
I have received mine. Again 27.5. I've tried to fit it into standard 29 but there is only 4-5mm of clearance between tyre and fork. Anyone interested in getting rid of his Revs 29 at CRC price and shipped it?
I bought two sets of these. Like all my forks I like to strip them down and make sure oil levels are good.
Well bloody hell... my supposed Debonair forks have the ordinary solo air airshaft. Gits.
I immediately checked the other pair and, yup, they're solo air too!
Those who also got the Yari's might want to check, it's pretty quick and easy to do.
How do you tell which air shaft is fitted? Is the debonair significantly different/better?
I found the same this week when changing the travel on my rev. It's certainly very different to the debonair upgrade I replaced it with. However if you look at the specs for 2018 rev they all spec debonair... and if you look at the service manual for 2018 pike/rev it shows the old style assembly but refers to it as debonair. So yeah, I can't figure it out! My only guess is that the factory installed debonair is different to the upgrade kit.
I think the debonair shafts are different between 2018 and 2019 hence the 2019 forks having debonair printed on the uppers.
2019 should have the new air shaft which you get in the upgrade kit.
I know my 2018 lyriks had the older shaft fitted. I fitted a 2019 and it made an improvement.
