How much travel are you getting with that shock setup?

How much travel are you getting with that shock setup?

The 140mm or so you get with a 50mm stroke shock and BikeYoke.
I tried fitting a 200x57 DHX2 from my other bike but it was just too long. I found this shortened DHX2 on Pinkbike, like 193x50 or so.

Currently waiting for a DPX2 to come back from Fox properly tuned for this bike and my weight, so I should have an interesting comparison to make.

Here is my 2020 Levo Comp with the lights installed... I dug out my Serfas True 1500 and installed it... got my ride in before it got dark, but I'll be running the Serfas and a helmet lamp going forward on after work rides. Next I'm going to be installing the WTB Vigilante 2.8s that arrived today.... I'm getting it almost where I want it to be!

I’m pretty sure it’s the only way they could be installed? I’ll see if I can find something online that shows. TLD and ODI don’t really give you directions....

Fox 36 160mm with 46mm offset, Fox dropper, SRAM Eagle AXS XX1 12 speed, Zipp Zero3 Moto carbon rims

put 216 x 63 rear shock and replace the rear wheel with 650b one.

and a little bit of work on shock eyelet to accommodate flip-chip set up.

Add this please Offsetbushings.com | Superior Standard & Offset Bicycle Shock Hardware

 

[Mountie]

Yes they do! I have a Fox 36 on my Stumpy and the Ohlins on my Levo feels much better! I had Ohlins Air and Coil on my 2018 Enduro and loved them. I don't get the hate.

I find I have to do two lower leg services a season maybe people find the maintenance frequency too high?

That looks awesome, how are the brakes?

Love the power of the Magura brakes, and modulation of the 2 piston in back. I keep an extra set of brake pads on hand since a lot of bike shops don’t stock Magura parts. Recently made some changes to the suspension and went with DVO for ease of service.

Any motor issues? Had mine replaced at 2200kms but I think the turbo chain cleaner was to blame it allowed degreaser to collect in the lower crank arm area and didn’t do the seals of the motor any favours and the bearing went south.

I use the xx1 as well hollow pin seems to work well and lasts longer.

I think I’m coming up on the same mileage as yours, around 1,300 miles. No motor issues, still nice and quiet. I’m a heavy guy and definitely put it to the test.

 

[Mountie]

Same here dropped weight a bit when I started riding but our season is very short here. I now take my chain off to clean now we will see if it helps the longevity of the motor.
