2014-2017 Yoke
What shock can I use?
The most common options are the Fox Float DPS and Rock Shox Deluxe but, as long as the shock is a single can 210X55mm, you are free to choose whatever your personal preference is. It is also worth asking your local shop that will service the shock if they have a preference.
This includes WC frames as well!
What stroke length shock should I use?
The stock bike uses a 53mm stroke so the most common option is to increase to a 55mm stroke for an additional 4mm of travel with no noticeable decrease in pedaling performance. Or, keep it stock and go with a 52.5mm stroke.
What hardware will I need to install the yoke?
The reducer bushings and bolt on the frame end reuse the stock hardware. The rear triangle end uses the reducer and bolt provided with the yoke. Metal DU bushing are required for both eyelets.
What about WC or Era frames?
The WC frame comes with a shorter 47.5mm stroke shock, so to keep the travel the same, a 210x48mm shock is needed.
You can still use a 210x55mm, and that will increase the travel to 109mm.
