I've got an Anthem X and would like to replace the rear shock - Rockshox Monarch .... But I can't find an actual size marked on it or anything on the Giant specifications .

Does anyone know correct size or point me in direction to find it ?

About 45s in..

I think it might be 165x38

Pretty sure the Anthems have 165x38mm but expect someone can confirm or correct.

I just found 165 X 38 on Decathlon web site for £100 .... Cheaper than sending one to be serviced ! ?

I've got a monarch R on my Anthem. The suspension design is so good IMO that you don't need an expensive shock to compensate for anything - a cheap one such as the Monarch R works really well.
