This is the new RockShox Reverb, in fact it’s so new we had it airlifted to the offices so it could make the test. RockShox has made quite a few changes since the last time we tested it — the first being two additional 175 and 200mm drops. By tweaking the saddle clamp position and lowering the height of the collar, RockShox has also reduced the overall length of the Reverb — the upshot being we were able to run a 175mm on our test bike, where we’d normally run a 150mm.
