This kit contains an upper and lower link, which allow running a 230mm eye-to-eye shock with up to a 65mm stroke.

To be clear, we intend for this to be used with a coil shock because it is VERY progressive. How progressive? Over full travel 48%. Comparing it to stock, over the first 55mm of shock stroke it is slightly more progressive. The extra 10mm of shock stroke is largely wh
