TwentyNineInches.com reported some great news yesterday. Both the 29er and 26er version of the Reba QR and 20mm TA will be available with the Air U-Turn option. Travel will be adjustable from 90mm to 120mm.

When I was attending the SRAM press release at Sea Otter last month we got the formal introduction to the 2009 Reba in 26″ and 29″ versions. What we didn’t get was something Rock Shox honches were holding back because they weren’t sure of the timing.
Well, now it can be told that besides all of the other cool features on the ‘09 Reba, the 120mm version will be available with a Air U-Turn option that will allow the rider to adjust the travel from 120mm to 90mm on the trail. This option will exist for both the 26 inch and 29 inch versions of the new 120mm travel Reba only. The expected time of availability on this version of the Reba is the end of June.

The hits just keep on coming from Rock Shox/SRAM and it is starting to look like a huge year for the RS line. It also appears that SRAM is paying very close attention to what their end users are asking for. These new Reba’s will also be using the new 46mm offset. This Reba line answers all of the requests that 29er and 26er riders have been asking for all year long. Very exciting news…
For me, the question still remains…what is happening to the Pike line now that the Revelation goes to 140mm with a 20mm TA?
