RockShox Revelation Charger RC

The forks that come on the 2019 Specialized Turbo Levo Comp, can the travel of them be upgraded ? Are these pretty decent forks, are the pikes/lyriks that much better ?

Depends what you're looking for and how you ride.
Revs are a perfectly good 150mm trail fork and I think travel can be increased to 160mm with a simple air shaft change. (google it to be sure)
Lyriks are quite a bit stiffer/stronger, have a little better damping control, which to be honest only comes into it's own the harder you push them. They are afterall designed for the top enduro racers in the world to smash 5 min+ rough, technical EWS tracks. Pikes are somewhere between the two in RS fork line up but in actual fact the Rev chasis is derived from the Pike so stiffness will be very similar but control/damping slightly more adjustable (if you were to buy the RCT3 Pike).
and to throw a spanner in the works a Yari is a Lyrik chassis with a cheaper less advanced damper (which can be upgraded to a Lyrik damper fairly cost effectively)
So now you know the truth just be honest with yourself about how and where you ride before making the choice or infact whether you'll genuinely need to increase the travel at all.

Thank you Gary for your very detailed reply, exactly what I was looking for thank you!
