How much difference in performance - forks?

between

and

thinking about damping rather than spring

Damping appears the same. Differnces in weight and spring type.

The coil will likely give a more supple ride but less cost friendly tuning.

Both dpc and rl - one is "gold" the other isn't?

Dual flow on the rebound on the revs so won't 'pack down' as much on repeated hits and a DNA moco as opposed to a standard moco, not a huge difference performance wise but slightly lighter

The RCT3 damping circuit is much much better than anything else on a Revelation [url= http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/a97953/revelation-rct3-dpa-150-maxlelite-15-black.html?lg=en&cr=GBP&cn=gb&gclid=CNPN09vKsboCFfHItAod32AAiw ]German bike shop forks[/url]

Yes revs in rl, rlt or RCT3 are better damped than the sektors.

No didn't get a mail, fire it through again. 😀

I thought RL Sektors were lighter than the equivalent Revs?

I've had Sektors (RL Air) for best part of 2 years and are spot-on as value trail-centre fork. A downside of the Sektor ime is that they seem difficult to get right in terms of pressure, i.e too much and they like a pogo stick, too little and they munch straight into their travel on steep stuff and drops (as much to do with my technique probably) 😉

Revs are smoother though imo.
