Rock Shox Revelation RCT3 Lineup confusion
Rock Shox only list that they make a dual position air, and a solo air fork. However, all over the Internet you will hear people talking about their dual air Revelation RCT3 fork. Bike radar Even did a review on a dual air RCT3 revelation. I thought that they made a mistake and actually meant dual position air, but they had another review for that fork. So the million dollar question is, does a Dual Air RCT3 Revelation fork exist?

That's a 2012 fork. 2013 forks are only solo air.

Yep, Rockshox dropped dual air for 2013.

TL;DR: Dual air was too complicated for the average rider.

Technically they still are dual air, you just can't adjust the lower pressure anymore

According to their site, that's just not true.

Their site says they have a single air chamber, not dual.

Technically the Solo Air has a positive and negative air chamber like the Dual Air but it is not Dual Air. Dual Air is RS only and describes their air spring technology with schraeder valves for both the positive and negative air chambers so you can dictate the feel of the fork.

Dual means 2. There is only one chamber to put air in that's why they call it SOLO Air. The air comes from ONE entry point not 2 like in a dual air. I hope I was clearer in what I meant before.

Imo Dual air was the greatest thing to ever happen the the front suspension world. Such a shame that RS ditched it, now they are just like any other fork out there.
Dual air added some really good customization to how the fork handled.
