i am currently running a Reba 29er 120mm.

What fork could i go to for a stiffer feel?

Would the Rev be stiffer than the reba.

Don't mind a bit of extra weight.

Don't really want the fox kashima coating.

Cheers

Revelation is a bit stiffer. A lot of money though!

Currently running an X-Fusion Slide on my 29er full sus, definitely stiffer than a Reba, also if anything, I'd say the damping is better controlled too. And a bargain to boot!

X fusion Trace with 34mm stanchions lowered to 120mm, good guys at 18 bikes is where I got mine.

Superb with a bit less twang for riding in the Peaks

Pike is meant to be very stiff. Specialized spec it on their Camber Evo Expert in 120mm, but this isn't available retail. It might be possible to reduce the 140mm to 120mm but then you'd have to factor in the cost. Supposed to be a superb fork though.

Something dtswiss would be stiffer. But the suspension action isnt as plush.

Yes 15mm on the Reba but just still feels so flex to my 26 fox 32's. I know its always going to be a bit more flex due to 29er but just want to improve it a bit over the reba.

Maybe Rev is the way forward

Also my fox fit 32 feel so much better on small bumps and more plush. How do X fusion Trace compare to reba for plushness or fox?
