Anyone know off the top of their head what size shock is needed for a 2004 enduro.?
yes
Oh good.
hope that's made your day.
190mm eye to eye, 50mm stroke i think.
It's a really funny size, 195x44 sounds familiar, but you can run a 190x50 if you put the flipflop link in the steep position iirc, I'd ask loco off here or mojo to make sure though
Edit it's not 190x50 as standard, I'm sure about that.
190X50 sounds familiar.
it's 6.75" x 1.75" for the 02-04 SX frames.
Got it, shock i2i is 7.765"(197mm)and stroke is 1.875"(47.6mm)
Told you it's a funny size...
So a 200x50 would be about right.
i'll measure mine when i get home and let you know.
Khani beat me to it. I'm sure that know the eye to eye is 7.675" - funnily enough, my Enduro is parked in the office about 15 feet away. Yep, it's 7.675" having just checked with my trusty office ruler.
As for the stroke length, I've no idea. I know it's a nadgers under 2" so 44.6mm would be about right.
For some reason, Spesh ordered the shocks in a very non-standard size. The only other shock that fits that I'm aware of is a custom Romic coil.
I'm sure that you could get the shock body of a 200mm shock machined down to fit.
My mate had a stroke reducer fitted to a 200x50 by mojo, they foul if left at 50mm stroke as it gives about 7-8mm more travel giving 140ish travel at the rear wheel
Iirc putting a 190x50 with the flipflop on steep gives the same geometry as the standard shock with the flipflop in the slack position and dosnt foul the seatube
Phew.......
Running an RP3 200x50mm on my 2004 Enduro Pro, running the link on the slacker setting so its only about 5mm higher at the BB and isn't really noticable.
Im pretty sure they dont foul with either link setting though. Could be wrong tho.
Its on a low tune, which I dont think is enough, medium would suit it better IMO.
Just measured mine.
195 x 50 which concurs with PJM1974's measurements.
Cheers all.
