mate check your sag.
i'm running a 400 on very low sag the 450 is an experiment as the bike has a regressive swingarm in the last part of its travel. my bike has a set of offset bushings in the shock so it is already sitting a bit lower than stock Wink
since i love my coil sprung ccdb and i will never swap it for an air suspended version i chose to put a stiffer spring so that it will bottom out less.
also it really depends on your feel i can't even bunnyhop my bike with the 400 spring.

Yeah will have to but not got a shock on it at the moment as I got rid of the float x2, just debating what shock to get think it's either another float x2 or a Dhx2

pick the one you like the most.

atm i would pick one that had the easy access to the knobs liking the vivid no tools no stress to get a very efficient basetune and maybe with the bottom out knob too considering how the swingarm works.

Does anyone know if the size dimensions for the glory stand over is correct. I find it strange that the standover height is more on the small than on the medium and the large?
Am I reading it wrong?

it's normal as stack is the same in all sizes and the reach is shorter in the small one

thanks for the reply, I kind of get it.
I have a medium 2015 advanced and although I'm short at 5'6 with a 29.5 inseam. I'm happy with the size of the bike, other than every now and then although I run the seat low , I end up whacking my self off the seat. Size wise in terms of stack, reach , wheelbase there's not a lot of difference between the small and medium but I had hoped that the standover would be slightly less on the small and certainly didn't expect it to be taller

it has to be like that. as the standover is measured halfway into the top tube. same stack +shorter toptupe = higher standover

weird question, does any one know where I can find the dimensions for the giant graphics on the down tube? looking to do a custom sticker kit for next season, shuttling took the decal off the down tube.
