I rode a Psylo Race prior to this fork and the Reba's RTL responsiveness to the terrain and the lighter weight of the fork are an upgrade.
Pros This shock is silky smooth. Love the adjustment and fine tuning that can be done. You can really see the minute adjustments made based on weight and riding style in how the fork performs.
Its a great fork. Adjustable enough. Their pressure settings work well. I go to the softer side of the adjustment range for the rocky rooty terrane around VA and the front end really hooks up well. I have almost 10 K miles on mine and no problems yet and still works great.
It came stock on my bike and I like it. It's easy to maintain, easy to set-up and a pleasure to ride. If to compare with more expensive forks, there's a little flex, which is alright for me
The 2013 model has fewer adjustments as the discontinued the Motion Control for the Reba model. This has been a benefit to me because it was my first air fork and made it much easier to set up.
Pros Stiff, responds well to terrain. Fewer bells and whistles.
Love this fork. Thru-axle give an extra stiffness. This fork is easy to adjust and pure joy to ride. And it priced fairly low. I've done an annual service to it once and keep riding. From time to time check/change air pressure to adopt for different trails. I'm sure there're many other great forks available but this one fits my need and riding stile perfect
Pros Stiff, easy to adjust, lock-out, 20mm thru-axle, convert rough singletrack into highway-quality ride, easy to service
I LOVE this fork. It came stock on my Giant Anthem. I can set it and forget it as I do not have to keep adding air to it even between seasons it holds its air. This fork has taken some serious abuse thruought some of the most technical trails in New England, mosty southern NH. It has seen thousands of miles and still operates as it did the first ride out of the bike shop!
Pros - dual air
- lightweight
- very durable
- pro pedal lockout
- allows you to stick the line you chose no matter how rough
Great all around fork and the funny thing is that this thing can compete with Rockshoxs top dog the SID. I would recommend this fork for anyone who is riding XC.
Pros Great control over bumps. Love the poploc option as well as the weight for this fork in its class
Get this fork, it's a great value. Plenty of travel for most riders in a solid package.
Pros Lightweight and responsive. Simple lock out and air sprung so you can adjust tension via shock pump. 29er version fits 29-inch wheels like a glove.
Cons Offset wheel mounts make quick release skewers more like slow release skewers.
Manitou or Fox is far better. Works like shox in bike from supermarket.
Pros
- I cannot find any.
Cons
| Thank | Edit- stiff
- does not pick bumps.
- not sliding without resistance.
- no way to set it correctly
Pretty well rounded for my taste.

strong light
Cons
| Thank | Editnone
Dig it!
Pros
Light weight. Stiff. Good adj. Range.
Cons
| Thank | EditNone so far? Which is pretty good after riding Fox forx for last several years.
Great fork for 26 and 29 inch varieties. Stiffer than the SID but not as light.
Pros
| Thank | EditRide this fork from time to time on the shop bike. Great adjustability from the dual air spring and the damping is what you expect from Rockshox.
Definitely buy the newest year as you can get. Mine was a 2007 and it lasted about 2 weeks.
Pros
lightweight and can easily be turned
Cons
| Thank | EditOil leak into lower chamber causing it to lockout for good. Also heard a metal bang when it tried to compress. Had to send it back
