The most accurate method for shock measurement: The Float X2 on the Norco Sight in these images looks like it has a stroke of 55mm when measured externally, however, Norco has fitted it with a 2.5mm travel reduction spacer from the factory so the usable stroke is actually only 52.5mm. However, some shocks have their travel limited internally with travel reduction spacers (not to be confused with a volume reduction spacer), so you won't always get an accurate measurement this way. Rockshox even make this super easy and engrave the eye to eye and stroke length on some of their shocks. Simply measure from the centre of each shock eyelet to find the overall length of your shock.įor coil shocks: Remove the spring and measure from where the shaft goes into the shock body to where the eye starts on the shaft.įor air shocks: In many cases, it's possible to get an accurate stroke measurement by simply measuring from the lip of the wiper seal to the end of the air shaft. If a shock is listed with the size 210x55mm this means it has an eye to eye length of 210mm and a stroke of 55mm. Shock measurements refer to two factors - the overall length of the shock (measured from eyelet to eyelet) and how much it can be compressed (the stroke). Set of vernier calipers (preferably digital).

Got a Fox rear shock? You can use the 4 digit code to look up your shock info HERE In this blog we will cover: Unfortunately, some of the larger brands still tend to be rather reluctant to share this kind of info, so it's still a good idea to know how to work it out yourself. You might need to dive into the bike archive or their support pages to find info for older models though. Most good bike manufacturers will list detailed specs on their website or in the bike's manual, so you can save yourself a bit of messing around if you're able to look it up. The fastest and easiest way to work all this out is to do a bit of searching online.
