Rear Shock

[murder_banshee]

How does the Fox 2.0 Podium RC2 rear shock go with long travel fox floats in the front? Is it a good fit or is it worth looking into a long travel rear setup as well?

[murder_banshee]

Anybody??

What a arms u have up front?

Some will Say you don’t need the rear long travel. Some will say it is a benefit.
I have not experienced rear long travel.

What rear long travel are you planning? Frame shock mount relocation? No link? Aftermarket link?

Roll long travel a arms up front with the RC2 Float 3 Evols.  I was hoping to run stock link in the back with the Podium but want to know if I should go Elka linkage with long travel shock. Thanks for the response

I only run Fox shocks. I have 4 Podiums in my shop. It works great with stock linkage. My duner is LT front end.

Awesome, this was the feedback I was looking for. I guess while I’m at it, what are everybody’s favorite swingarm length for dunes? I mostly ride Oregon dunes so tree shots are part of the usual

Mine is a +4.

Very nice. Those are clean. What swingarm and axle is that? I love that black finish on the axle. Also, which reservoir mounts are you using?

It's a Stellar arched ladder arm. The axle is a JJA drag axle anodized black. Those are Modquad mounts.

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but how do you like the axle? Never really considered running a drag axle for my duner

This is a 34" play axle. You can shed about 10 pounds of rotating weight this way, which is like adding power. As long as you're not bombing it off jumps (I have many times), it's a very good upgrade.

I haven’t been on the JJA website, is the play axle 35mm or 40mm?

[locogato11283]

All JJA axles are 40mm. The play axle is 34” long.

I will look into that for sure. Is the rear end much narrower than up front?
