Actually, it's 22mm (200mm - 178mm) - almost a full inch more of travel.Kanter said:
I think I remember reading on SC's web page somewhere, either in the general info, or the warranty section that 02's and newer can take up to an 8" (~205mm) fork w/out voiding the warranty.
-Yes.
i run a shiver(200mm if you didnt already know) on my bullit and its fine. It really not raked out i assume a moster would be fine.

I have run a 7" Monster on my Bullet & Now Shiver..
Not once did i ever think it was Too much fork..
I also run a 24" rear wheel for extra rake !!
I know of lot's older 6" Bullets that had Monsters on them W/O the extra gusseting on the older frames- & they Never cracked I think you can see in the original Superheros vids,etc also.!
Bullets rule !A perfect bike !

I run an '03 Shiver on my Bullit as well, and like ya said - no problems...That being said, I *think* the Monsters are a little taller than the Shivers...In fact, my Shiver was almost the exact same height as my old 7" Boxxer...Regardless, I don't see it being a big issue...Before I got my Shiver, I was thinking about going with an 888, but I didn't want to deal with the GoRide / Risse crowns to lower the effective fork height if I thought it was too tall...Well, that and the Shivers I rode on felt smooth as Carmen Electra's ass dipped in Slick Honey (i.e. pretty damn smooth)...And speaking of Shivers, I was under the impression that they had 190 mm of travel, not 200 mm...But hey, I'll take the extra 10 mm...Plus, it sounds cooler

the reason santa cruz's website says 178mm and not 200mm for the biggest fork travel captibul for the bullit is because it changes the geometry of the bike. it is mainly a reccomendation for the bike.
i have a bigger rear shock then they reccomend, so i have 8in of travle in the rear and santa cruz mtb said i would not have to worrie about breaking a bullit because they said it will not happen.
so put the monster on

I just went from a Super T Pro to a 888RC, 200mm. I can still ride it uphill with no problems.... better on the DH! It doesn't change a whole lot, but you do need to get used to it.
