I'm Toying with the idea of replacing the standard Monarch R rear shock on my Anthem X2 for something that can provide a lockout feature such as the RL/RT3 (If they make it in the size I need).
Can anyone tell me exactly what size I require? I've been searching online for a while but keep seeing different figures popping up. The most common size linked to Giant bikes I found being 165mm-38mm.
I've seen others saying measure eye to eye but I'm no where near the bike to do this and no where near the handbook so just thought I would ask to see if any of you knew off the top of your heads.
An old employer gave me US$300 to spend at Amazon.com a year ago so wanting to get it all spent and shipped to the UK.

Best bet would be to give the likes of tf tuned a call or even email them. They're helpful and know their stuff.0

you could measure it?
Its 165mm i2i and 38mm stroke, you'll need to get the same tune of shock too.0 -

I'm not near the bike for a few weeks.
I just thought I would ask if anyone knew off the top of their heads to save me waiting for weeks to get home then having to wait longer for parts to arrive.0 -
I spoke to TFTuned as suggested but they have no bike information for this model so can't assist until I'm next to the bike. I'll just put it on hold until I return to the UK.0

why not phone giant to make sure but 165-38 is the most likely size given the information I read online. will be much easier to buy while you are in the states.0

I'll hold off until I get home and have a go at measuring it myself and setting it up following the guides. See how I feel with it after that.0
