IMHO 160/146 (205x62.5 shock). 205x62.5 shock yields 146mm rear travel with good seat stay clearance. 205x65 shock yields 152mm rear travel but frame contact is possible under bottom out flex and could destroy a very valuable frame.
Hi all, I own a Trek Slash 8 M 2022 and a Trek Fuel EXE 9.8 M 2023. I've run some numbers that I'd like to share on how they compare geometry-wise. Spoiler alert, geo is the same but the travel is 10mm less both ends on the EXe.
The Slash (low) is 170/160 stock and the EXe (low) is 160/152...
