I'm pretty sure the callipers are the same as the last generation, but with top-loading pads and cooling fins.

downhiller87 (Apr 18, 2012 at 5:55)

The callipers are still the same like the new xt and SLX... There are some pictures in the Web

Scott Voltage FR

TommieXD (Apr 21, 2012 at 3:36)

Is it a 216mm shoc ik 222mm mounts?

Huckster-McPlush (May 22, 2012 at 19:04)

TommieXD, in this setup, Brendan is running a 200mm eye to eye rear shock (with a 2" stroke) and using the 215mm mounts. This gives the bike 110mm rear wheel travel (when in the "A" linkage mounts).

TommieXD (May 23, 2012 at 4:12)

Ty very much

Got a voltage to and soon it will be SS orientated so I was interested in this one ;P

Huckster-McPlush (May 24, 2012 at 7:31)

No problem

i just wonder how low the bottom bracket will be... The 2011 and newer voltages have a 1/2" lower bb height than the 2010. When you use a smaller shock and the bigger mounts like Brendan did in this picture, it lowers the bb to 12.2" or so. That's pretty low...

TommieXD (May 24, 2012 at 7:35)

Idk if 12.2 rides that well, looks quite low to me... I'm going with a 216mm E2E and 63mm stroke I think

Gives me a nice 130mm of travel.

Huckster-McPlush (May 24, 2012 at 13:21)

Yeah, that is pretty low. Yes, if you run a 215mm mount with a 215mm e2e shock (with a 63mm stroke) you will have either 135mm travel (position a) or 150mm (position b).

Huckster-McPlush (Aug 21, 2012 at 16:47)

I have to correct my previous post. In this setup, the rear shock is a 200mm e2e with a 57mm stroke (215mm mounts used). Short travel option = 120mm rear wheel travel. Long travel option = 130mm rear wheel travel.
