I've got a set of 2002 shiver sc that I love so much, I kept them in a box for about 9 years knowing I would someday have something to put them on. (All my bikes had 6+ inches of travel) just built up a hard tail trail bike for my 17 year old daughter with it, and I find myself feeling jealous of the fork she gets to ride. The only time I felt like it was twisty was lining up in a bmx gate with my 230 pound donut eating self torquing on it. Once riding it feels magical. Now to scheme and somehow get it back on a bike for myself.

LOL I know exactly how that feels building up a nice bike for the kids!
So a bunch of links to a used fork, and a Chinese order site that I can just on guarantee doesn't have it. Have talked to Canada's distro, as well as directly to X-Fusion. The Revel/HLR are absolutely not available. Order one and see where your money goes.
Don't get me wrong, those were all real forks, and I desperately yearn for a Revel, but it just likely won't happen. The rest are either pre-production, didn't make it to retail, or are no longer supported. I'm never going to say you won't find neat used stuff, but that's a long call away from a current retail product.
Does anyone have any time in on the Wren? Gotta admit, my interest is piqued.
Also I have yet to hear of anyone in person actually liking the Maverick stuff. By vast majority counts, it didn't even ride that well when it came out a decade ago, let alone compared to a modern fork.

Ok, I'm not the argumentative type, so I'm not going to labour the point any further, but I have spoken with Xfusion directly myself and apparently, you were right, the companies out east don't have them.... BUT, there is apparently a distributor in the UK called Upgrade which is in Xfusion's distributor list and they, according to Xfusion, are the only distributor in the world who have the Revel right now! Naturally I have sent them an email to ask... Based just half an hour from me too

Gutted, just called them the minute they opened and it was a false lead, they don't have any
