200mm. stroke length is 50mm although you can fit a 57mm stroke on it and increase the travel of the bike by 0.5 inches.

pretty large, i see you have a 66, might be my next fork, how does it handle downhill?

66 is a great fork. handles amazingly well, i need to give it a service and an oil change because i need a lighter weight oil in it. currently not running any compression damping and i would like to have some. similar with the rebound damping, its almost all wound off otherwise the rebound is slow.

Is it ok to get the RCV? i've been told its the low end model... still should be ok?

yeah, the RCV is fine, it just means that you get compression and rebound rather than high/low compression/rebound. i used to have 888RCVs when i had my demo, and they were amazing.

if you can get the RC2X. GET IT I have an 06 and it is AMAZING. you can make it as stiff and linear as you want or soft and progressive, you can just make it feel however you want.
