As the title says is it worth it or not I ride xc with the odd trip to wales etc.Just can't decide whether I will notice a big difference?
Yes
No
Well, now you know!!!
get's the coin out !
No point. You'll gain what, a 20mm axle, 10mm of travel and a bit of weight, neither of which are really necessary for typical XC stuff. You'd also need a new wheel, so more expense..
I have coil Pikes & coil Revelations.
Revs were fine on my 456 summer season but as I also had Pikes they went on it for a bit too.
The Pikes were noticeably heavier. I didn't notice any additional stiffness that you should get from the maxel but they did give me more confidence, mentally.
Pikes now back on the Enduro, Revs back on the 456.
With the riding you mention, stick with the Revs.
