I need some forks for my new 456ti and have been looking at either;

RS SID RCT 120 solo air from On one £339 less 15% or
RS Revelation RLT Dual Position 150mm from Merlin £325 less 10%

both are 2013 models

Any advice greatly received

That, decide what you want then ask about forks.

Personally I'd go for the dual positions Revs. But that suits the type of riding I do - some XC, lots of trail riding and some pissing about. 🙂

I wanted a light weight fork but I did like the dual position that gave me the option of 120 or 150mm.

As I live in the Cotswolds the SIDs would be ok for my needs. So if I go with 120mm travel the next question would be are SIDs the better option?

Yes about 200 grams.

Whats the difference between RCT3 and RLT in simple terms?

I wouldn't put lightweight twangy forks on any bike, but then I'm not an XC whippet.

Revs

I had a set of revs on my 456 and loved them.

Great at [s]mincing [/s] hucking down steep stuff and pretty nimmble on the climbs when your dropped the travel.
