Rockshox Vivid air shock

[Trumildo]

Good day to all,
I'a new owner of a Turbo levo comp 2019.
I have a Rockshox VIVID AIR R2C Mid Comp B2 Black 200 x 57 new from my previous S-works Enduro and I was thinking to install on the Turbo levo.
Do you think that it will alter too much the bike geometry?
for sure it will lower the motor,but do you think of any other inconveniences?
Thanks a lot for all yours help

All the best
Alfonso

The OE lenght is 210 with 52.5 stroke
The stroke can be changed to 55 if you flipchip the position to high.
A 200 shock with 57 stroke will probably damage your frame when it is fully compressed.
So I wouldn't recommend using it.

OK Thanks for the answer,what about shortening the stroke will the OE length be OK? ,maybe also adding a 160 travel fork?

No it won’t. You would have to shorten the stroke big time, as your eye to eye is 10mm short. Even in high position you would have to shorten the stroke to under 50mm - so less travel than stock. Plus if you add a 160mm fork to a shock that‘s 10mm shorter than stock will give you a head angle (and seat tube angle) thats around 2 degrees slacker than stock and a bottom bracket height around 25-30mm lower than stock. Pretty useless mod imho.
