I have the 23 ultimate DH and had a 450-550 progressive msr. It was too spongy off the top. Put a 550lb linear on it and feels way better. I think that in combination with they hydro bottom out will work perfect.

I did on a 21 large 9.8 though.

Just installed a super delux ultimate coil 230x65 on my 2021 9.8 with a SAR 600lb SAR spring. It feels a little stiff. I need to ride more. I’m coming off a 2021 dhx2 with the same spring it felt softer. Anyone try the new rockshox ultimate coil yet? Btw it clears fine on my large.

Thanks! I’m in the PNW and absolutely love my rail. But I think I would enjoy the fuel exe more. Especially if I could swap out range extenders if I needed.

What are you guys getting for elevation on highest assist mode? I typically do 2000 ft in about 4.5 miles on fire road with my rail. It takes me about 25 minutes to get to the top in turbo. I’m wondering if an EXe could do it or if it would need the range extender.

Started with zeb select 160mm. It sucked felt like it was wielded solid even at 55 psi. Refreashed the lower with low friction seals and 170mm air shaft. Still sucked. Installed the ultimate RC2.1 damper. Was better but still felt harsh with very little compression dampening. Installed smash...

I’m running 180mm smash pot and push AC97. 27.5” in the rear with 165mm DHX2 shock. In high position. I love it for PNW downhill knar. It’s made for the hardest downhill trails and tears them up.

Is it possible to buy a frame and motor? I have upgraded everything on my 2021 9.8 would like to just swap my suspension and everything over

My shop set my wheel size to 2175mm for big Betty 27.5”x2.6”. Made a big difference I was hitting the limiting going downhill often.

Mine were above and almost impossible to fit the motor in like that I’m sure there a little pinched. I’m interested in routing below.

I like it, much more agile on steep sharp corners. Had one pedal strike but I can deal with it. Will keep riding it like this for a bit.

I hate mine. Trek rail 9.8 with zeb select. Upgraded it to RC2 2.1 damper so it’s an ultimate now. 170 air spring Refreshed the lowers. Even installed a smash pot tried 3 different springs. It’s better but pales in comparison to my fox 38. It’s paired with a fox 2021 dhx2 165mm with progressive...

Going to try this in my 2021 9.8 large with a 180 front fork and 165 rear shock in high setting. I typically ride steep PNW rough trails.

My 2021 large 9.8 hits in low but is fine in high setting with 65mm stroke dhx2 2021

I did the same landed in a nasty rock garden. Until they make one that protect the fins I’m staying stock.

Mine sucked felt horribly stiff with factory settings. 180mm on 9.8. I swapped the damper to the RC2.1. Put low friction seals in. Running 55 psi no tokens it still felt increasingly harsh compared to my fox grip2 on my nomad. Changed the air spring to a smash pot. Pretty good now but I run no...

I replace mine often. Tires are your connection to the ground. New tires are a lot cheaper than a trip to the emergency room or bike parts.

Yes mine is using the screw and I put dielectric grease on first. Before I was getting power off cuts pedaling up on gravel roads. No longer an issue.

I would check chain length, when I received my rail the chain was too short. When shifted into the lowest gear, the largest cog, disconnect the rear shock or let the air out and compress fully. Mine would have snapped my chain at 50% travel compression.

My motor was a complete bitch to install after removal. I had to tape the cables to where they needed to be, install the motor, then pull the tape out. Took an hour at least just to get the motor in a place to line up all the bolts without pressing on the cables. Trek 9.8 2021 large.
