The result turned out really well with the RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate; the travel drops slightly though it's imperceptible, given the 210x50 sizing, but it still works beautifully. Great job.
Yoke mounted on my XL Epic Expert Carbone Word Cup 2017, with a Rockshox Deluxe Ultimate RCT Debonair C2 2026 210x55.
It fits all travel long. The gap with the frame gets very tiny (1mm) in the middle of the travel.
Not used the additional bushes with the Rockshox shock.
Today’s trial on a 30km bumpy journey validated the mounting. Small bumps and climbing are more smooth. No significant lost of efficiency felt.
Thanks for the yoke and advises.
Worked out perfectly - thx for a great product that brought back my 2015 Epic back to life. Henrik / Denmark
This worked well on my 2014 Epic. I paired it with a Fox Float Performance 2 Position Evol LV rear shock. I'm definitely not a bike mechanic, so I took it to my LBS to install. The only thing I should have done before ordering was reach out to Cames to ask what hardware/bushings I would need for that particular shock. My LBS did have to find a different bushing than the one that came with the shock, but it all worked out.
Put this on a 2017 world cup frame with a Rockshox Deluxe Ultimate C1 210x55. It just fits at 100% compression. I am not sure if the current C2 version of that shock would fit. The new shock, along with the yoke, is 104 grams lighter than the brain shock!
You need to extract the bushings from the original shock at the top tube eyelet or use the DU bushing and find some additional spacers.

Just perfect. 🙏
