Last year I had the FR30 and ran it in 170 a couple of time. Mostly ran it in 150. Loads more pop on jumps etc. this year with the FR20 I ran it in 180 a bit but way way more fun in 160. Now I mostly run it at 135 or 150 (shorter shock and mounts to suit). Sometimes swap it back to 160/180 but rarely feel it needs it. So much fun with the shorter travel
a voltage is better with 160mm fork? what do you think about a fox talas 140mm-180mm? it work very good too?

i was running mine in 160mm and the compression on the x fusion was waayy too stiff even with it backed off and it was still way too firm, feels like a hardtail over rough stuff. Put it into the 180mm position and it feels like a normal shock. The only problem is it way too much travel for what i want so ive just bought a fox dhx air to replace the x fusion.

I want to bought a voltage but I will put a dhx air and a talas 36 180mm-140mm in it, that's my idea to make enduro and FR, just like the canyon torque

Sounds pretty good to me, can run 180/180 and 140/160. Personally I'd get a lyrik dh but up to you

Has anyone here ordered shock bushings for their voltage?

It's a different shock rate though so you will have to get a lighter spring and change the compression to get it to feel good

Can completely understand this! It was incredibly stiff when riding flat trails! Did not realise it could have that much effect though ahah

Yeah I found it much better when riding trails (160mm with my 241 shock) than the long setting. Stiffer and better pedalling.
Hopefully will see some benefits from it when racing pedally stuff then!

Got my dhx air on today and the rear suspention actually works! Yayy. Gonna take it for a ride at the weekend to properly set it up but pretty happy

Im about to install my new Fox DHX RC4 on my Voltage FR 20, but i can't decide if i should stick to the 180mm setting or try out the 160mm setting.
A friend of mine told me to try the 160mm setting since it would make the bike feel steadier and "funnier" when jumping.

Im mainly going for jumping/dropping big with my bike, so i want it to handle the jumps good and make me feel as comfortable as possible.

Im running with a Marzocchi 66 RC3 (180mm) fork.

What do you guys suggest? 180mm vs 160mm?

Try it on both, it's only a quick job to change it. The 160mm position requires a softer spring compared to the 180 position. So to get the best feel out of both settings you will need different springs

I've fitted a works components -1,5 angleset and a boxxer wc and long dropouts.
wheelbase is now 1187 mm...
headangle should be around 63,8 degrees

I have the same setup headangle and drop-out wise. Its miles more stable. Feels like on rails. Perfect for steep fast and tech tracks.
