Levo Gen 4 Levo Gen 4 Genie shock - opinion wanted

[YokoOno]

Any thoughts on a resale market for a new & unused Gen 4 Levo genie shock?

I opted for an after-market shock, so I have an unsed shock sitting around.

This isn't meant to be a solicitation or want ad - I'll gladly post that later in the appropriate section.
I'm more curious if there is any need or market for this?

thanks

Post it and see, I would post both here and Pinkbike. I am sure someone would buy if the price is right, I mean who doesn't want a backup shock... rebuilds take time

The gen 4 Levo rear suspension is not very progressive, I have seen numbers posted of 18% to 21%….. no idea if they are real. The genie shock is pretty much a fox float x with additional large air can for the first 50% of the travel. The float x is already a very progressive air shock, with the large air can it’s even more progressive. Seems specialized decided that instead of making a rear suspension with a higher progressive curve, they put all the progression into the shock. If you have dreams of a coil or a big can air shock, my advice is forget it. Maybe keep the stock shock for when you kill the after market shock after a heavy bottom out. The genie shock is so progressive, mounting it on a bike with a more progressive suspension curve will feel like a walk of resistance as it goes through its travel…. Again, jmo

The progression is indeed very low, I calculated it and cascade got very similar results:

Anyone knows the shock stroke of the Gen4? I would like to calculate the rising rate of the linkage and would need the exact shock stroke. Thank you... If someone is interested, you could help me with the exact lengths of the shown dimensions. I use the picture, which is relatively accurate...

Our link for the gen 4 Turbo Levo completely revamps the suspension. The new leverage curve and wheel travel make it better than ever at descending.

Yea, if cc is to be believed, the real progressive rate of the new Levo is 12%.. that really poor if you prefer the bottomless feel of a progressive suspension. I have really struggled making my ff Kenevo work with a ratio of 21% .

It's not to be progressive except for the last 20% of the stroke. It is meant to be linear the first 80% to get a plush feel. Then at the last 20% one of the damper flow valves gets blocked by the piston to become progressive enough to keep it from bottoming out. It works very well in that capacity. I put one on my Rift Zone which is not a very progressive frame and it performed well.
