RockShox recommends about 120 psi in both the negative and positive chambers for a 180 pound rider. In this case, I found the air spring pressure recommendations to be on the low side, most notably when the fork was running smoothly. Preference for a firmer feeling front end had me run the Gate 13 clicks clockwise (19 clicks total) and compression three clicks clockwise (six clicks total). Once this is assimilated the adjustments are easily made on the trail, thanks to the decently positive feeling adjusters located comfortably within reach on the right-side top cap of the fork. The more вЂњGateвЂќ used, the closer to a lock-out the compression adjuster becomes at it is moved clockwise through its range. вЂ“ Dictates the range of adjustment of the low-speed compression adjuster. вЂ“ Functions as a high-speed compression adjuster Out of the box the RevelationвЂ™s Motion Control is not the most intuitive damper to adjust. For the most part I have a hard time turning down a little added spice to my trail rides: the Revelation tagged along and was ridden through its fair share of вЂnot so dandyвЂ™ terrain as a result.Дamping, chassis and other pre-ride notes Throughout 2010, the bike saw mainly trail-riding duties in the Vancouver to Pemberton area, with some cross-country races thrown into the mix on the week-ends. It replaced a 2009 Fox Talas 150mm for the duration of the test. The Revelation was mounted for most of its life to a Santa Cruz Blur LT and to a SC Nomad for the pictures in this review.
