Whyte E160S shock eye to eye

[Mattzzzzzz]

I’m thinking of changing the shock on my 2021 E160S (already!) I’ve just got some volume spacers so will try these first but If I do change I can’t seem to find what shock e2e figure is so I get the correct size, anyone know offhand?

does that mean you have to do without a water bottle/tool caddy? or is there a way to rotate the shock such that the piggy back chamber doesn't fits above a water bottle?

were you tempted by a coil?

No - i love coils but this frame isn’t progressive enough for one and I’ve not had much luck with progressive springs in the past. Part of the great stuff about this bike is how its somehow makes a 25kg bike poppy and playful, the air shocks contribute to that.
