This new linkage for the V2 Forbidden Druid allows you to run a 185x55 shock. Something that can't be done safely with the stock link or out stock shock size link. Running as long a shock stroke as possible is something that is highly beneficially for heavier riders. The implications of this are similar to our well-known Long Shock Kit for the Turbo Levo. The longer shock stroke in conjunction with the link allow for a dramatic decrease in spring rate or shock pressure. In the ST setting, which yields 130 mm of travel, you will see a 17% decrease in spring rate and in the LT setting, which yields 138 mm, a 13% decrease. The purpose of this link is to make setup easier/possible for heavier riders. That means progression is left the same with a shift in focus to lowering the leverage ratio across the board. Specifications: 185x55 mm shock Travel: 130 mm (ST setting)/138 mm (LT setting) Colors: black, silver, orange Weight: 368 g Made in the USA Compatibility: This link is compatible with the Druid V2. We have put a lot of effort into maximizing shock compatibility with this link. Currently there are no known shock incompatibilities. The current generation of Druid and Dreadnought frames use different linkages. Do not try to install this on a Dreadnought please.
