i have an opportunity to get a brand new Fox fork off my buddy's specialized enduro elite that he just bought. My question is, am I better off keeping my Revelation or selling the revelation and getting the Fox fork?

what are your thoughts when it comes to the specs and the ride of the two?

I like the Fox. The 3 position travel adjust is great, easy to adjust on the fly. I didnt care for the constant twist to adjust travel on the Revelation and Pike I had. The Rock Shox forks felt good, the Fox is just a step up in my opinion.

Also, I think the axle to crown is longer on the Fox so your front will set a little higher and your HA will be a little slacker.

If it's doable for you, then by all means go for the TALAS. The Revelation may be a nice fork, but the TALAS is one of the best QR forks on the market, if not the best.

I had/currently have 2 and they were/are awesome. By far the best fork I've ever had.

Yeah get the fox for sure. They are the best by far.

even though the Talas doesnt have slow speed compression...you'd still recommend?

I still wouldn't worry about it. The one I have now is an RLC and I really never mess with the compression. The one I had that I sold was an RL and trust me--I never thought "gee I wish I had a compression adjust."

Another vote for Fox!

The RL does have low-speed damping, it's just not adjustable on that model.

I'd say go for the Fox, but I have never ridden the Revelation.
