The Revelation suspension fork for trail bikes
The Revelation has come of age and is ready to follow the trail wherever it leads. RockShox has packed it full with the features of the big ones: improved DebonAir ™ air suspension, Motion Control ™ damping and 35 mm stanchion unit with “Fast Black” coating.
Technologies used
In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.
DebonAir
It's okay to be soft. DebonAir is not ashamed to give in to the slightest shock. In fact, Monarch and Monarch Plus dampers are softer than ever right from the start. You may see that as a weakness until you hit the track with the DebonAir. There will be a seamless connection between your bike and the terrain, because your DebonAir-equipped shock absorbs every single blow without affecting your body. With such soft strokes you can give even more full throttle.
Motion Control ™
Imagine you are driving on the moon. Rolling hills, crushed rock blasted out of craters ... craters. Since there is no gravity, you wouldn't even need a chair lift. Unfortunately, you cannot drive on the moon. But there is also a lot of inhospitable terrain on earth. But RockShox has gravity, which means you need suspension that can handle climbs and descents alike. With their motion control damping technology, this is exactly what is possible. You can't ride the moon, but motion control can make gravity your subject.
Boost ™
BOOST ™ is a new wheel and drive specification that offers an improved frame geometry with shorter chainstays, wider and harder suspension, a greater number of chainring options, more room for wider tires and increased stiffness and robustness of the wheel.
Bottomless tokens
With the help of bottomless spacers, riders can optimally adapt the air suspension performance of their RockShox suspension fork to their own riding style and preferred suspension. Thanks to the easy-to-install bottomless spacers, the air spring characteristic changes in order to prevent bottoming out after a large impact. Aggressive drivers can thus attack more heavily on a route. Removing the bottomless spacers results in a more linear air spring characteristic, which increases the damping in certain types of terrain or track conditions and ensures that less aggressive riders can use 100 percent of the spring travel.
Torque Caps
Torque Caps reinforce the connection between the hub and the fork dropout by increasing the surface area that connects the two. This creates a stronger and stiffer interface that gives you better feedback and more control. So you can concentrate on the most important connection: the one between your bike and the trail.
