Fox Talas or RS Rev

dont know about the rockshox, but I'm very happy with my talas 32. plush, lots of adjustments, etc. The travel adjust is very easy on the 07 and 08 models as well. just a quick turn to the left and the fork drops right down. a quick turn back and a few bounces on the fork brings it back up

I spent one day on a talas. (My buddies.) I didn't want to mess with the settings too much. We way the same so I thought it should be fine.
The travel adjuster was great, but I felt a bunch of fork dive when braking.
A few weeks later, I bought a revelation. It's been great.
From my limited experience.
The TALAS has better travel adjustment, due to having to turn the rev 6 full revolutions to go up or down. The talas is much better in this area.
The revelation does not dive like the TALAS. That being said , I probably could have tuned that out with compression adjustment, but maybe that would have affected the ride.
One thing I have noticed on my rev. is that when it is at a setting between the extremes it has a slight clunking noise when it extends. Not a big deal, but noticable.
Good luck

I have an 08' Fox Talas 36. It has 6.5" of travel, 90,100, & 110 of travel adjustments. It also has Hi and Low speed damping adjustments and rebound adjustments. Through axle and over size stantion tubes make it stiff also. It's a great shock! So far so good.

I like my Reba 29er, but I'd probably get the Fox Talas.
