When RockShox’s latest Reverb works, it’s truly in a class of its own, and recent experience with multiple samples suggests that initial build quality issues are now behind it. Fully-hydraulic operation means the Reverb can cope with much more tortuous internal routing than the cable-operated competition. Lever feel from the new shifter-style ‘1X’ remote is fantastic too, although that adds $100 and 45g (with clamp) over the standard ‘universal’ push-button remote. The post now comes in a wide range of diameters and lengths, it’s short for its stroke and the twin-bolt saddle clamp is secure and easy to use. It’s impossible to ignore the initial build quality issues that saw B1 posts being slammed for widespread top-stroke bounce issues.We’ve had flawless function from our own long-term samples and the large number of Reverbs we’ve used on test bikes recently, though, so hopefully SRAM’s assurance that all new posts will be fine will prove accurate.
