Third Time's a Charm: RockShox Reverb C1 Review 

Ditto. And it's less expensive.

While I didn’t have issues with my 170 reverb I replace it for the oneup 210 (shimmed to 200) and I can’t see why anyone would pay what all the other brands are asking for. True the reverb was a little smoother and the new one supposedly even smoother but it’s not a suspension post focused on small bump sensitivity I just need the thing to go up and down and for 200.00 it does that perfectly.

its not the same. i do hate the older versions too. and i prefer a cable. but, its definitely "not the same".

I dont have any problems too. You just need to pump it and than it is perfect

They're just unlucky mate... Me I do have my 2015 reverb use it from 2015 until now it still works good as new. it's only been service once last 2017 and i perform a bleed last 2020 overall it works good.. The only thing i notice it does have a play when i drop its travel but its not really a big deal cause when i drop it, that means its attack position on the trail we mtbikers always stand up 90% of the time on the trail especially on the DH no need to sit.. But when it's pedaling or climbing up a trail/fireroad that's the time im going to fully extend the post and sit on it and there's no play or sag that's happening.

Anthony Walters yea droppers are the best. If you want a cheap dropper, get the brand X ascend, it’s 150$ and my friend has it and it’s really good

At least anybody can bleed and even fully rebuild the reverb with some basic tools. When a Transfer needs service you have to ship it into fox, or take it to a shop that has nitrogen charge/vac bleed equipment. Minimum $110 USD. I doubt any self-respecting shop would charge you that to rebuild a reverb since it's only about 1-1.5hrs of work. I'm not repping the reverb, I just dislike both posts lol

Simon Wenzowski i have my transfer since 3 years and i never did anything on it other than lubing it every 2 weeks or so and it still works like new

@@maxkaufel4715 cool, I have a transfer too and it works great. Definitely more reliable. But it takes 10 minutes to bleed a reverb, and if anything goes wrong with your transfer there's literally nothing you can do unless you're a suspension expert with nitrogen charging equipment and allt he specialized Fox fittings. There are so many other posts out there by PNW, TransX, Bikeyoke, Oneup, just to name a few that are serviceable and reliable.

you have to service the fox as well.. except you gotta send it back to fox for that

All great posts as well as points made. I mentioned Fox Transfer because I have the RACEFACE Turbine R.... which now is essentially the Transfer. One Up, PNW etc etc all produce affordable and reliable droppers. My main point was basically budget and simplicity and I have had tremendous success with my dropper. Super super easy to install, set up and maintain. I don't have to bleed it. If when the time comes I'll have no issues getting it serviced. Appreciate the comments.

we've been on the Moon, but we can't make no-wobbling droppers:D:D:D:D

600 hours.

Operator errors

nope

Yeah, of course they would haha

Cables aren't a problem, but AXS and other electronic shifting is a huge technological advancement. Do you not want companies to strive to improve their products? Cables are great when they are maintained well, but stretch and become sticky very quickly. electronic shifting removes all of this.

Tim James im all for strives and progress, but wireless shifting to me seems like a step in the wrong direction. MTB shifting is pretty outdated and gearboxes seem like the logical next step, not a $400 branch catcher you gotta charge

That was a Divine. No external bleed valve at all, that one auto-bleeds every time you drop it...

we're not here to defend either solution, but we will point out that the hydraulic activation is NOT the troublesome part of the old Reverb. Hydraulic activation actually works really well, and in our experience does not require much in the way of service or attention. The squishy post syndrome is not related to the hydraulic activation, they are completely separate circuits.

Bikes get flipped over and stuff! Why sram thought it was sealed unit ? Sad but went ahead before properly sorted! But shouldnt be sold when had the sag bs. Now ! Airlock seal maybe ? Need full wright to force oil one place to place shouldn't be? When company races forward with bs problems and think its ok. Then fix issue 7 years after initial bs! SRAM should know better as forks aswell!

Barti Attila, they actually do. My Reverb that came on a. 2016 Santa Cruz 5010 was replaced for free under warranty in February of 2018 for failure. It was replaced with the next revision.
