RockShox Revelation RL Review


Feature :

  • Travel : 120mm - 150mm 
  • Travel adjustment (120mm/150mm)
  • Dual air system
  • Lockout feature
  • Rebound adjustment (Rabbit & Turtle)
Review :

The physical look of this fork gives it an elegance impression  from the white color with silver decal and also a chromolly silver stanchion. Although this fork has a quite long travel, this fork is categorized as a lightweight fork. 

It has a dual air system, is having two air chamber (one on the top, one the bottom of the fork). Things that make differences between a single air fork with dual air fork is that the dual air fork has a bottom air chamber so stabilize the air fork performance. And then we have and advantage when we face an uphill section ; it is travel adjustment. When we climb, we don't have to do the hard work with 150mm travel, because we can adjust our fork's travel to 120mm. So, when we climb the hill, our position will tend to lean forward that will make the climbing easier. Another feature that is also an advantage of this fork is rebound adjustment. With this feature we can adjust how fast or how slow our fork will be compressed. There are two adjustment : 1. Rabbit : fast compression, for downhill
                          2. Turtle  : slow compression, for uphill
And for climbing efficiency or to prevent bobbing, we can use the Rabbit adjustment and also the lockout feature.

With full travel (150mm) and fast rebound compression (Rabbit), we can feel this fork is really responsive to a small bump, so the ride will be really comfortable.
