Kenvo Comp/Turbo rear shock compatibility:

I'm thinking of replacing my Fox Van with a Ohlin TTX, will the Ohlin bolt on without modification?

Yes if you get the correct size. I assume your talking about the 2019 Kenevo so you will need a TTX with the specialised shock block fitted to work with the standard shock yoke or alternatively you can buy a bike yoke yoke and use a standard Ohlins coil/air shock

I purchased a like new TTX ($300)that came off a 2018 Kenevo Expert and it's on my Comp,problem solved,all I need is a heavier spring!

That’s horrible, I hope this fiasco is over soon.

In the mean time I'm spining the turbo trainer!

Just a quick one,
Does a 216x65 air shock still give me 180mm of travel in the rear?
My Enduro uses a 216x57 giving 165mm of travel but I'm scrambling my head trying to work it out in accordance with the suspension calculator by Specialized.
Any advice would be appreciated ?

 

[CjP]

188 mm

 

[Neeko DeVinchi]

188 mm

You're kidding?

 

[CjP]

Well 165 divided by 57 = 2.8947
2.8947 x 65 = 188

Wack in the shock, remove the air and place a board inside the chainstay. Then run a pencil/marker inside the axel hole and cycle the suspension. This will give you the wheel arc. Measure that and you have your suspension travel.

Ok, I think I've worked it out. Long story short after taking your advice @Christian as well as comparing to my 2017 Enduro and comparing the Fox Van RC, Rockshox Monarch Plus RC3 and Ohlins TT and, comparing the yokes between the two, I can confirm..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
......... its still 180mm.
