merida e one sixty 2020 fox DHX2 coil

[mr.sebi]

hey guys. has anyo e of you tried this combination? i know there are a few people who run a coil shock in their meridas. but never seen a fox dhx2. 205x65 is available in austria. but dont know if it fits because of the small gap between frame and shock. thanks a lot guys for helping me

I found this video where a guy does it, trying to work out spring rate to start with.

The Guy who reviews it is from Adelaide and can confirm that most of his reviews are bloody awesome and super honest. In this video I think he goes more in-depth on the coil performance (Bomber Cr that has a light compression tune and medium rebound tune)

I saw those videos and purchased the same coil shock from cyclinic, I didn’t get the compression or rebound changed for now and will see how it goes standard, running a 500lb 2.8 shock to start with.

Hey E-Bandit how did you go with the Maroochydore shock, feel good or need to change compression rebound. Thinking of doing the same. Cheers

Hey , yep been running it with the 500lb spring, it does feel good, but I think if I changed the compression tune like mention by mtb telly in the video that would be icing on the cake. I will wait till it needs a service and send it away for the change, Only bottomed out slightly of one pretty big drop off, have done a lot of jumps and all sweet. It also feels heaps better smashing over roots and pointing it downhill
At the same time I changed the front z1 fork to coil also and 170mm,

Cheers thanks for the quick reply will look into getting one. Did cyclonic recommend a spring size or did you just wing it

I spoke to others on this forum and cyclinic, I went on Facebook and found a couple of springs for cheap just to test, I weight 88kg without gear, and only bottomed the 500kg out once, I would like to try the fox sls 475 spring but it’s expensive.

Hi, is 205x65 the correct size for the shock?
