Does anyone have dimensions of a 2009 x country rear shock?
Got a 2007 ,it has 335 at max extension(standard) 327.5 min.centres and 60mm travel when soft bump stop is compressed.

I know 2009 model has shorter shock and am curious to dimensions.
My instinct is earlier shock is too high unless you really run little preload .

Any help appreciated

Thanks for reply!
Yes I’ve studied this one and I know the x challenge air shock dimensions are not correct.
I’ve measured an almost new only 10miles omit shock and found it is 245 long, l deflated it and put a g clamp on it Snd could only compress 50mm.
I then fitted it to my c country and measured all dimensions. Compressed with no air gave 295 long which is 210 mm travel, if my son sat on Flat shock on seat at 100kg could just get 225 mm movement so where the 270 mm travel comes from I don’t know.
Interestingly the x country shock has genuine 60mm travel. Not measured dimensions on bike yet but will soon.
Reason for query is geometry feels wrong for cornering with taller original shock but with air shock on big static sag is pretty spot on.
Figure 220-225 long would be better , just hoping to get actual measurements. Will post sizes of std movement on wheel when I’ve tried it out.
