My revelations are at the end of their life. So what does the collective recommend for a Cotic Soul 140mm travel 15mm axle (wheel upgrade also) all mountain xc riding round the dales and lake district, bit of a biffer at 13.5 stone.

OK they are 150mm, but a bit of sag won't kill you, and they really are excellent forks!

Rocshox Sektors are great.
Hello mate. After having both Floats and Revs I recently picked up some DT Swiss XMM 140's for £440. Prefer them to both the other two and they seem to fit in with what you want. Highly recommended.
I agree with [s]Nick[/s] Dave ^^^
These are the ones I got.
It's a bike shop in Sheffield so they come with full warrenty etc. Seem to have gone up a few quid but it might be worth asking if they'll sell them at the lower price.
Mackem - do you jump about much on yours? I'm getting more into jumping and dropping (as part of ordinary trail riding) and I'm wondering if they're up for it. I actually love my old 2006 revs, but they're dying...

if you're into jumping and dropping, then that seals the deal for the 44s - coil is the way forward; especially when they are as light as an air fork (ti coil).

2012 Revenaltion RLs from Merlin, 300 quid or less, drop them to 140 easily.
No, I dont jump much, plenty of drops and big rocky descents though and they've been great. I think "Pike Lite" would be a good way to describe them.
cheers fellas - I'm tempted on those 2012 rev RLs. Even though I only need 130 travel for my (old) Soul.
