2008 ROCK SHOX
From the Rock Shox Press Release for the new Reba:
The popular RockShox Reba suspension fork is new and improved, and ready to hit the trail! Didn’t think that RockShox could top the proven Reba? We took an awesome fork and made it even better.

• Graphics package
• Standard QR or new Maxle Lite 20x110mm thru axle option

198'S THOUGHTS
The big news here is that the 120mm Reba rumors are true. This will make a lot of riders very happy in the 29er and 26er market. With the increased travel on the Revelation and 20mm option...you have to wonder...what will happen to the Pike line? I guess we will find out soon enough, but in the meantime...SRAM continues to raise the bar in suspension forks. '08/'09 should be extremely exciting.
The new graphics are a welcomed change. The current look has been around for several years now and the new simple design is very pleasing to the eye. I can't wait to see what they are going to do with the bigger forks.

That stuff looks great, but I’m glad I am happy with my two Reba’s and Pike as the Rock Shox stuff has significantly increased in price the past couple of years. They certainly aren’t the bargain they once were.

@LoneStar: I agree with you, but you know as well as anyone how much that 20mm TA helps…especially in a 29er format. I know all of those Sultan owners have to be drooling over a 120mm travel 20mm TA fork.
