I know the Sektor is a cheaper Revelation, is the Rev worth £80 more than a Sektor for trail riding? What are the differences between the 2? Stanchion size?
If so.... Is the Pike worth £100 more than the Revelation.... 😉
What year? I had a 2016 Sektor Gold that I swapped for a 2016 Pike RCT3.
It is a better fork in every single way.
Main reason I swapped was that the chassis of the Sektor was really twangy, even with my scrawn. Pike is infinitely better, much plusher (I fitted a Debonair air spring) and the damping circuit feels so much more controlled.
Revelation has been 35mm for a while so is much stiffer than the Sektor. Damper is similar, but you can eventually upgrade the Revelation to a Charger 2.1 for about £150. You can’t do that on the Sektor.

I'm looking at 2019, the price difference may well be worth it then. I am running 32mm on my full suss and would like to go to 35 on the new hardtail I am building....
Is there any difference between the Rev Charge RC and Revelation RC?
Revelation all the way, they actually have an upgrade path, they're basically a pike with a cheaper damper.
The charger version will be good, the motion control damper in the standard RC fork is a very basic damper which can be harsh over repeated hits
Revelation always above the Sektor -
Especially if it’s only £80 more. The Pike is again worth £100 more than a Tev RC, but if you don’t have the cash now you can always stick in a charger damper at a later date to make it effectively a Pike.
Rev charger rc has a better damper than the rc - although it’s not a full charger damper like the Pike.
Helpful, thanks folks!
I'd avoid sektors, I had some in 150mm travel, the fore/aft flex was worrying for hard riding, the difference between my Lyriks was huge.
