Its only a pound heavier than a RP23 if run a Ti coil on the shock. Its 1.4 pounds with a steel coil.

Has anybody decided to spend a wodge of cash and invest yet?

Malcom at cc has said that the only negative is the weight. Positives are more control, a feeling of bottomless travel, improved pedalling ability without a comprising on the ability to handle small bumps. Improved action on multiple hits, less stiction. Basically if you dont mind the money which is a lot or the weight which again a lot, about a pound more than a rp23 then there are no negatives.

Steve Jones also rates the shock as being on another level.

Oh and I dont thing Ti spring is an option as its not available in that size,plus it is supposedly better to run more sag than normal on the shock as its more controlled. So i would not like to buy a Ti spring straight away only to find out it was the wrong weight!

I missed the MBR test last month due to being in France, if anybody would like to share what they said or could send me a scan of it would be much appreciated.

Any help?

I have some Rev’s (2009 140mm qr’s) and thought they were sound, but I haven’t ever tried thors so can’t comment sorry.

Had some menja’s which were really stiff….

Cool if it does work

How easy is it to clean Mr.N?

I’ve got a white Five so was thinking about white velcro which i’ve seen you can buy. But no good if if stayed brown after a hose down, or stained a funny yellow colour.

either fork would be a rockshox as i’ve never had any problems with them.

If 160mm then lyrik either solo air or dual air. Seems to be a lot of dual air on offer ( would be perfect if they now work and don’t lord travel?) or if 140mm would be maxle light revelation dual airs.

Cost is putting me off 160mm forks but does seem to be a deal out there if you look.

If I stay at 140mm though, would i still always grab my ti456 to go riding rather than the orange?

thanks for the replies so far.

i’m not sure on the fork as i want a bike biased for dh, but i’m always used to building bikes on the lighter end of the scale.

Also since buying a ti456 i find that i hardly use my 120mm full sus as the 456 is so good at everything.

so i’m looking for something different and will inspire me to ride full suss again.

What is the change/mod between the old and new forks?
