So I know it's 150 travel, but what is the shock size. Eye 2 eye etc if I wanted to replace the shock. Thanks in advance.

I actually like the stock shock. If I were to upgrade it would be the Ohlins TTX Coil which they do make for our bikes.
 
I've not had enough time to judge it. It was just the fact the X2 would have been less than half price and it's supposed to be an awesome shock, plus then I'd have gold on bouncy bit
 
Would you still go for it if I said the fox x2 is roughly half that price?

Good question. I've run both the Fox X2 and Ohlins TTX Coil and my preference is the Ohlins TTX Coil. Mainly because I prefer coil suspension. I do think the X2 is the best air shock though. You found one to fit our bikes?

If you are 200lbs + I would go for the Ohlins TTX Coil 100%. I see heavier riders maxing out the X2 psi often.

Can you send me links on exactly what to get for the Öhlins Coil? Im interested in trying this coil out. I seem to have to ride with really high pressure on this RockShox Deluxe.
 
Cane Creek DB Coil in-line is another option and they do a 210mm eye to eye version. £330.00

The only reason I didn’t buy one of these is because I had the Cane Creek Double Barrel Coil already in stock.

Follow the link below to plush rear suspension at an affordable price ?

Your local Specialized Dealer or Ohlins USA direct will sell you the shock and spring. The Cane Creek Coil is a good deal and worth looking at if budget is a concern. Just stay away from the Ohlins and Cane Creek Air Shocks.

You will need to check with them via email or phone to make sure they fit the correct size bush kit for your bike model and year. They will ask for your weight and riding style so they can tune the shock for you so it will be a simple ‘fit and ride’ process for you (y)
 
Google "Monotube vs twin tube" and you get "Monotube shocks offer better damping than twin-tubeshocks...". Why would I want a twin-tube shock? I remember buying Ohlins dampers for my car and they made a point of them being monotubes.
 
Ended up going Cane Creek.

After consulting with them, here's what I decided on:

DBcoil CS 210 x 52.5
VALT 2.25in x 650 Coil
Hardware - 20mm x 6mm for Top
Reuse Flip Chip for Bottom (according to Specialized)

Waiting for it to arrive and will post up when completed. Sorry for somewhat hijacking, but hopefully the thread was useful to gain more info on what OP was looking for.

I'm also evaluating the purchase of a dbcoil IL, but I noticed that in the tftuned.com page of this shock, there is written:

"Note this shock is not compatible with 2019 Specialized Stumpjumper or Levo Models"

It is an error in the description on the site or it really is not compatible with the 2019 levo.
 
As far as I know that statement is correct.
 
It will fit but there have been issues with the shaft snapping as it is overloaded on this bike. Therefore CC have stated not to fit it.
 
............. I seem to have to ride with really high pressure on this RockShox Deluxe.

My Rockshox Deluxe R needs 230psi to support my 92kg riding weight. That is much higher than on any other FS I've been on. My bike is not a Speccy but a Focus Jam2. I can't believe that is the shock design, it must be the leverage ratio in the suspension design that requires high pressures. I have a quick look back at the other bikes I've had and irrespective of make or type of shock the pressure has been in the range 155-170 psi.
 
Im still waiting on my CC DB CS from Worldwide Cyclery. They ordered it in November and I think just got it on Friday.
The inline version does not work from my talks with CC which is my I went this route.

Did you get a db coil?
 
...also, went with the 600lb coil and its solid. I have the 650lb, but havent even thought about trying since I got the desired sag and feel Im looking for.
