REVEL RELEASES FULLY REDESIGNED RASCAL

The Rascal V2 keeps the award-winning kinematics the Rascal V1 is known for but is tweaked slightly to make for the best use of the 130mm CBF suspension. The Rascal V2 now provides a more stable pedaling platform with the familiar, lively feel that is expected from the Rascal name.

Stanchion Tubes

NINE.ONE forks feature 36mm centerless ground and polished stanchion tubes utilizing our proven MicroXD micro-finishing process to reduce friction and increase durability.

Quiet Coil Spring

We made it simple….the NINE.ONE is coil sprung. Better yet, the fork spring assembly sits inside our lubricated “Silent Surround” chamber allowing for quiet, smooth, and maintenance free action without the use of secondary devices such as heat shrink.

Independent External Bottoming Control

Independent from the main coil spring, the ABS unit provides additional spring support for the final 10-45mm of wheel travel. The engagement position is automatically adjusted based on base pressure. Base pressure is adjusted externally with a standard shock pump with recommended pressures between 5-50psi.

User Adjustable Travel

Proprietary travel adjustment system allows riders to internally adjust the forks travel between 140mm and up to 170mm without purchasing additional parts.

Warranty Reset

Warranty Reset ensures that after every annual service performed by one of our Factory Authorized Service Centers, you get a full factory warranty reset for another year of use. In addition, all PUSH forks and shocks feature a fully transferable warranty.
