I’m looking into upgrading the rear shock on my Trek Rail 7 Gen 2 (Large frame) and have some questions about shock size compatibility. I’m considering either the RockShox VIVID Coil Ultimate or the RockShox Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate. The factory size for my bike is 57.5mm stroke length, but I’ve noticed that both shocks are available in 60mm, 62.5mm, and 65mm.
Would using a longer stroke shock (60mm, 62.5mm, or 65mm) be a good fit for the Rail 7? How might it affect the bike’s performance, geometry, or cause any potential issues? Also, if anyone has experience with air suspension options that would work well for my bike, I’m open to those suggestions too.
Thanks in advance for any insights or recommendations!
