Title: Penske Sport Shock Shaft Travel?
Post by: Fudge on February 27, 2010, 03:08:59 PM
I was going to verify my sag settings when the weather warms up and I have a Penske sport shock. 

Does anyone know the shaft travel on that shock?  Is it different than the OEM shock?

Guess I could take the shock off the bike and measure, but easier to ask.

thx, jd

I received a response from Traxxion, exactly 2" of travel.  Very close to OEM.

Do you know the model # of your shock? I am looking to replace my shock this year.

thanks,
Mike

Yes an 8900 model Penske sport shock, great addition to the bike.

120mm I believe.
Um, that's about 4.72 inches. Seems more than 2".

Right, 120mm was wheel travel.  On another post I read 48mm was the stock FJ shock travel, I stand corrected.
