The Reba RL is the only fork in the range and uses a Motion Control damper with rebound and compression adjustment with a Solo Air spring. There's also the Reba 26, which gets all of the kit you'll find on the RL, but it's tuned for lighter and smaller riders. However, this one doesn't get remote lockout compatibility.
The Bluto is one of the very few dedicated fat bike suspension forks available. It's based on the 32mm legged Reba chassis but stretched to accommodate super fat rubber on a 26" rim - up to 4.
It comes in 80mm, mm and mm travel with a Solo Air spring. It only comes in one model, the Bluto RL , which gets a Motion Control damper with seals and grease that's specially rated for low temperatures to maintain consistent performance through all conditions. The Judy name is another blast from the past. It is designed as a low to mid-range fork that offers plenty of clearance for Plus tyres up to 2.
It comes in either mm or mm of travel and The Judy Gold RL is the higher-spec model, with a Motion Control damper featuring rebound and low-speed compression adjustment to lockout. It uses a Solo Air spring and gets aluminium uppers only with a tapered steerer. Again, there's a Solo Air spring, and it has a tapered aluminium steerer. Still, the upper legs are made from heavier steel.
It also comes with a coil spring. This fork is OEM only. The Recon is designed as a cost-effective, high-value cross-country fork built with 32mm stanchions. It does not come with Boost spacing, but it does come with travel from 80mm up to mm. It also fits up to 2. The Recon Gold RL is the more advanced fork, coming in It uses the Motion Control damper with rebound and compression damping adjustment, and the steel 32mm upper legs are black anodised.
Note that this fork is OEM only. There's also a SoloAir air spring. It gets boost spacing and the TurnKey lockout. This is also an OEM only fork. This is RockShox current range-topping damper. It's a fully sealed unit that uses a bladder to keep the damping oil isolated from the air.
It's available in different formats depending on the application. Still, the three main specs are the basic RC with adjustable rebound and low-speed compression to lockout. The RCT3 has a three-position compression setting from lock-pedal-open with low-speed compression adjustment in the open mode and the RC2 , which gets high and low-speed adjustable compression damping plus rebound.
The latter is only seen on dedicated gravity forks. This is an updated version of the Charger 2 damper seen on 'Ultimate' forks with some changes to the valving, such as less high-speed compression damping and more low-speed compression damping to make the fork sit up high in its travel. This is a term for volume spacers that can be added to the fork's air spring to adjust how much progression there is - how much harder it becomes to move the fork as it goes deeper into the travel.
Adding more makes the fork harder to bottom out under hard riding; having less means it's easier to achieve full travel for a given starting pressure. To fit them, you need to take all the air out of the spring and then remove the top cap using the correctly sized spanner or splined cassette tool. You can put multiple tokens into a fork as they thread together and attach to the top cap. Different colour tokens fit different fork models. This is the premium air spring that RockShox offers. It uses a higher volume self-balancing negative air spring relative to the standard Solo Air design to offer a reduced breakaway force for better small bump compliance and a more linear starting stroke.
This is an air spring that allows you to externally adjust the travel by up to 30mm, depending on the fork. This is the mid-range damper and it comes in a few different formats. All are emulsion dampers, where the damping oil isn't separated from the air in the fork, which can lead to less precisely controlled damping when the two materials mix -become an emulsion - under more extreme use.
Since getting hooked on mountain bikes aged thirteen riding a tiny 24Seven Crosser, he's raced downhill, enduro and cross country, and while no athlete, still enters the occasional race. Seb studied experimental physics at university, and he's now happily using wasting his degree experimenting with different bike setups, trying to work out what works best and why. You'll often find him riding the same track ten times in a day, changing just one thing to pin down the differences.
Seb's much happier back-to-back testing suspension on a wet Welsh hillside than riding the latest five-figure bikes on some sunny press trip - although he quite likes that too!

Other factors that may affect pressures are ambient temperature, altitude? Tbe downside of this strategy is that my ride is stiffer on the downhills. Hijack Alert Kev- your service are required.
Cwm Twrch beckons! Christmas ride soon also- you up for it? Still investigating best setup though. You could also re-machine the rebound piston assembly to be a compression and rebound arrangement. Oh is that what he meant? LoCo — Member You could also re-machine the rebound piston assembly to be a compression and rebound arrangement.
Very interesting!
