I'm going to upgrade my Wolf Ridge rear shock. Recommendations?

Now I've have crappy Fox Floar R, which I can't get working good enough.


Oh, and I have Marzocchi 55 RC3 2009 (160) fork.

Depends on what kind of riding you do. I LOVE my RP23 that go custom valved from Push. Not sure if any of the external resivor shocks with fit in there...the DHX depending on the year might, I want to say I've seen a picture with one installed on a wolf ridge.

Ive still got the stock RP23 on mine and its brilliant... If you were thinking of a piggyback shock this 08 attack trail has a fox one.

I contacted marin a few months back and they said a piggyback will void warranty as the piggyback itself may come into contact with the frame, hope this helps

Hope this is of some use haha Smile

Made some changes, had this for three years now and still going strong. Need to get a new guide though, the stinger is working alright but still occasionally losing the chain.

Here's my Bobcat Bitsa:

'Tis true, it's a big 'ol frame. But... Not sure where to go with it. I've got a hope hub and XM719 rim I'm going to build up, and am umming and ahing over whether to refurb an old Juicy for the front (but it may be cheaper just to buy a new one Razz), and also whether to put my other forks on it, which are possibly a bit big being Shermans (150mm travel)... And I need gears, of course, but only 1x9 tops. If I can get some middleburns I'll be laughing.
