Hi, does anyone on here know the size and stroke of the rear shock for an alpine 160 2014? Been looking online for a bit but nothing comes up
Thanks all
Andy

There is a silly cheap CCDB in classifieds that will fit and makes the Alpine sublime (not the seller nor an associate, but own an Alpine with a CCDB).

I have a ccdb on the bike already I'm wanting to replace it as I feel it's too much for the type of riding I'm doing at the moment

My Alipine was much better after I swapped out a Pushed RP23. It was great before, but now I've finally got the ACCDB set up how I like it (took a lot of trial and error) it's worth the extra weight.

Never too much! You can fine tune out some of the shortcomings of a long travel single pivot e.g. they "trap door" on rolling stuff, which a bit of LSC sorted. Tweaking rebound also got rid of a wandering/flat rear tyre feeling I sometimes found on fast downhill bends.

The Alpine will never be light, any weight loss from ditching the CCDB would reduce not enhance performance.
