hello all,
most frames use 200x57 mm shocks ,but from my own experience longer shocks perform a lot better in rough DH stuff. Bikes I know about using longer shocks YT Capra ,Transition Patrol , Banshee Rune. What other frames out there that I dont know about? Please tell if you know. (looking for 216mm or 220mm)

I'd have said 216x63 was more the norm for a 160mm bike - I always avoided anything shorter, 'cos I'm a big lump.

Surely it's the second number that's the stroke, like 63mm? Or does eye to eye length always go hand in hand with shock stroke?
