Theres definitely a noticeable improvement from the stock travel and linkage performance. The trails behind my house have drops, rock gardens, jumps and general rough and dry. we also have flow. I will say I do appreciate the fact the BB is higher due to the rocks and potential pedal strikes...
this is a possibility. However, I am not privy to buy a new shock just to see if it makes cascade's link more compatible with the bike. If I'm going to buy a new shock, I might as well just buy a coil for the original link. I have a float x2 that is older, and FOX's QC isnt the best so it very...

Yea I was wondering the same, if somehow I got a previous version. I reached out to Cascade, but I don't expect to hear from them until next week. There can totally be some user/installer error here. I will post pictures ASAP another set of eyes is really appreciated
edit: I don't believe I...
Thanks for the reply. Yeah the shock is 230 x 65. The more I think about it, the more I realize the stock linkage doesn't rest on the frame even with the stock shock out. So i'm perplexed as well. I will continue to tinker and report back
Reviving an old thread here. I bought a new 2023 alloy levo s5. First ebike! Love it! I bought the cascade long travel link. I followed this thread very closely. I don’t expect any issues even verified compatibility with cascade components and the alloy frame since there were 2 versions...
