I have a 2013 Giant Revel 1, what is the highest travel amount I could look for if I want to upgrade the fork?
-
120mm should be okay.
-
I general guidelines are + or – 20mm of travel from the stock fork. If you do more than that, you are really messing with the geometry

Ok, thanks guys. Would there be any problems with handling if I switched to 120?

It [i:3jjo8l2h]might[/i:3jjo8l2h] develop a slight tendency to wander when climbing, but on the other hand it will be more confident on steep downhill. (this is because the 20mm longer fork reduces the head angle by one degree)
I did the exact same upgrade on my Giant Trance and it turned out really well.
Check it out in my profile as there is a picture with each fork installed.
