The above fork is supposed be available this month.

Anybody got a set yet, or ridden them, it would be nice to get some rider reviews.
Considering some for a new build.

Anybody got a set on order?

Thanks

My mate has a set on order. I will update once he has ridden them a few times.

I'm an OEM customer with X-Fusion. I understand the Revel forks are finishing manufacture as we speak, but with a limited number. These will find their way to the press first. Then the eager public and others will have to wait until the second batch.

I can't wait to get my hand on a pair of these!

Thanks guys, started too get the feeling they were a bit later to market than anticipated.

Superfli, it would great to get some feedback from your mate when he gets them

I had a quick bounce on a set when they came out a couple of years ago. They we're very plush, but given the Sweep now has the same damping, is considerably lighter and Im not convinced the Revel is any stiffer, the £900 RRP looks quite spendy compared to the Sweep. Thats not a criticism of the Revel, but high praise for the Sweep which is a great fork. They do look very cool in gold though 🙂

Well I had spotted them for £789.99

http://www.freeborn.co.uk/x-fusion-revel-27-5-fork

Although if they are not available yet it may be a speculative price.
However freeborn were in the zone on price on another x-fusion fork I purchased/pre-ordered in the past.

Its also a longer travel fork than the RS upside fork.

Freeborn is tight with the importers upgrade, so reliable on the pricing and dates as a rule.

if you pre-order at that price, surely they have to honour it anyway?

tempted by some myself
