Rock Shox Revelation RCT3 question

So I got some of these bad boys but am a bit perplexed.

They are described as:

... brings an all-new Dual Position Air spring system to the table, adding approximately 30mm of sag-to-sag, on-the-fly, travel adjustment.

But I'll be damned if I can find any way to do this, any ideas?

Are you sure your ones are definitely 'dual position' as opposed to just 'dual air' ??

Dual Position Air - An easy-to-use detented knob offers long and short travel options with a turn and a click


sounds like you can adjust the travel by 30mm without stopping Don, but only if the rider is a demented knob?!
Dual air should be adjusted using lever on left leg as below..

surely then its a triple position or is it dual because you start at one end either 120 or 150 and 130 is the second position last time I checked theres not 30mm between 130 and 140 or even 130 to 150..but my maths could be out of date. there is 30mm between 120 and 150mm but don't quote me on that !
Ok, so they are Dual air, not dual position air. Left leg just has air valve cover. So no travel adjust so to speak. But what is the 130 -150mm malarkey, don't tell me two small black washers that came with them are the answer!

Hi Don,

I have a Revelation Dual air and the two washers are the answer. They are travel spacers which are added onto the piston internaly. 130-140-150 means that they can be set to any of those travel amounts by using two, one or none of the spacers. You'll find all the necessary documents here:

On mine there is knob like that one on the left leg, you can reduce or increase the travel using that, but is far from the on the fly description.

yes..
Oh well, travel adjust is for wimps anyway. Roll on the climbs at 150mm!
