Hi all,

I am looking to purchase a Fox Float X2 7.875 x 2.25 for my 2018 RM Altitude 750. Can you please confirm that those specs will fit/make sense on this bike?

Thank you!

hey if youre talking about the 2018 Altitude A50 black and red. then no a 7.875x2.25 will not work, its the wrong stroke and eye to eye. the 2018/2019 models take a 210x55 metric or an 8.5x2.5 standard.

I think the shock sizing was switched to metric starting with the 2018 Altitudes. The metric shock size should be 210mm x 55mm. The shock size for for pre-2018 Altitudes is 200mm x 57mm.

yup 200x57 or 7.875x2.25 same difference.

Thanks for your help!

You have saved me from an $800 (non-refundable) mistake.

I have an X2 on my 2018 Altitude Carbon.

The 210x55 size isn't available in the UK, so I had to have one custom made (or rather they took the closest size and shimmed it to the correct length).

I believe the IBIS Ripmo also uses the same length shock.

I may have a 210x55 float x2 for sale soon if you’re interested.
