Fox DHX2 Coil Rear Shock Ordered for my Hydra

[Cuz Vinny]

Finally found someone who has the 2022 Fox DHX2 Coil Shock in stock. Chainreaction Cycles had it in 230X60 configuration. In my past conversations with Pushkar either a 230X60 or 230X65mm would work. Couldn’t find the longer 65mm shock so I went with the 60mm. Also ordered a 500# spring from Jensen USA. I used the spring calculator on the Fox website to come up with the spring to use. Once everything comes in and I get it installed I’ll post my impressions.

Great info. Read up on it a bit and will look forward to how you feel it performs for you.

Pushkar indicated that rear wheel travel on the Hydra is 165mm vertical. I used 6.5 in of rear wheel travel to calculate spring rates but did you hear differently?
