2010 Rock Shox Revelation Dual AIr Motion Control Fork!

Arthur Gaillot provides the words, opinions and acts as action sport model as well while Jerry Willows put his nose to the back of the camera.

Very thorough and informative review (imho) with sweet photos this way...

So how did the performance compare to the TALAS?

nice socks Arthur !

Are those socks even legal?

Only if you can ride like Arthur

I have one of the 2011 Revelations (Dual Air, Ti blackbox) and so far so good as far as the spring goes. That said, I'm a good boy and generally check pressure every ride.

I did notice that the foam ring on the air piston was essentially dry, although there was an ass-load of red rum on top of the piston. also soaked the foam rings in the main seals. There's not a lot of oil in the lowers (3-8ml [!!!!] recommended by SRAM,) so I figure It's worth pulling the thing apart to get it top notch.

Great shots Jerry!

great review arthur! nice to have a great rider and suspension tech break things down so thoroughly. i have an 07/08? coil revelation, even with a qr it is quite a bit stiffer than the fox fork it replaced. been thinking about replacing it with a new dual position air version, but i'm not keen to guinea pig a new feature - rs seems to like having its customers beta test their technology rather than focus on getting things right first try

pretty sure dual position is a new name for 2-step. so it's probably wise to avoid.

Same function but different system (2Step is solo air). Not that I have any trouble with my used 2Step Lyrik, and neither did the previous owner.

I have 2 RS forks, and both are quite reliable but both needed a bit of tweaking at beginning to get them running right

Had a 2010 Revelation and really liked it… moving over to a BOS Deville for 2011…

I've had the 2010 Revelation since last June, It is currently in for warranty for the 4th time. Which is a shame really, because when it is working it feels fantastic.

At first the problem was noticeable stanchion suck over the course of a regular weekend ride (I was loosing 20mm in the course of 4 hours) but my biggest problem is the seal:

It's done this 3 times to me. I really hope they can resolve the issue because as I already said, when the fork is working I think it feels amazing.
