Rear shock / shock mounts
Do not use a shock with an eye-to-eye length greater than 241mm. The stroke must not exceed 76mm.
Tip: The 601 frame is designed with specific kinematics and hence does not harmonise with all shocks availa
-
ble. In order to achieve optimal suspension characteristics our factory supplied shocks have been set up to
suit. If you want to run a shock with a different stroke, you will need to check all moving parts (incl. shock)
for interference-free movement when mounted in the frame and at selected front shock mount position. This
must be checked for the entire suspension travel! To do this, release all air from the shock and fully compress
the frame.
Tip: Due to the large travel and variety of setup options, it is necessary to check your specific setup for
collision-free performance, as not all possible combinations can be guaranteed to be collision-free. This
means, depending on tyre choice and wheel diameter, frame size, position of the front shock mount, choice
of shock and relevant tolerances in the combination of components it is possible that two components contact
each other. Please avoid such a suspension setting or do not use relevant parts as such a setup can lead to
damage of frame and components.
Geometry fine tuning
Bolt right at the top means: “steepest”
head angle setting and “high” bottom bra-
cket. Of course you can not only use the
geometry fine tuning option for general
geometry adjustments. You can also use
it to adjust the sag, without changing the
geometry.
Bolt right at the bottom means: “slackest”
head angle and “low” bottom bracket.
