"bullit rear wheel travel"
i'm wondering if anyone else has actually measured what shock stroke is required to get various amounts of
wheel travel. i have on my medium bullit and the results suprise me. i'm told by santa cruz that with the
stock 2.25 stroke fox i get 6 inches. that seems to be very nearly true. i actually measure it to be barely
under 6 inches. however they're saying the 5th element (2.5 inch stroke) shock provides 7 inches of travel. i
measure under 6.6 inches. risse says their long travel shock (a 2.75 inch stroke that actually measures
2.67) provides 8 inches of travel. i measure a 2.75 inch stroke to be 7.25 inches of wheel travel. what do you
think? by the way i'm including the bottom out bumper. these are max potential wheel travel numbers.

Are you just asking what is claimed, or what actual travel is?

Sub 6" w/ the 2.25 is correct. (good shock choice for this frame I'm on a Flow Components and a Pushed RC both work well.)

Dunno on the 2.5 (Don't hear to many good things on the 5ths)

2.25" stroke = 5.8" travel, 2.5" = 6.5", 2.75" = 7.2". SC is off on more than travel... weights... geometry...
