orange patriot travel question

mrmonkfinger

quick question about patriots, for anyone who knows anything about them:

how much travel do the frames have? is it 6" or 7"? or is it "both, but depends on year/model"?

it varies from the first one to the last one.

the first were 4" and the long travel version were 5" and now.......

It depends. There was also a 7+ released in 2004

And in 2006 there was the Patriot 66 which had adjustable travel (depending on the shock length)

Thats scary, it doesn't seem like five years since I got mine!

yeah it varies a lot year to year, the new ones are 7", as were the 2007/2008 patriots, the 2006 was 6", as were the earlier ones back to around 2002 i think (there may have been some 4/5" ones earlier than this, i'm not entirely sure on the early ones). then you had the 7+ which was 7", and the big T which was also 7". I think that covers most of them...
