Re: Softail titanium MTB 29/27.5+ (all mountain - bikepacking) Rear travel is hard to measure because of elasticity of ti plate.
I tried to release air from shock, bike upside down, push down the rear wheel and measure the vertical travel.

It is around 60mm.

I made a calculation, considering it is a single pivot, same result 60mm.


If the seat stay angle is low, the travel is bigger.
Some says they have 95mm rear travel with 38mm shock on softails. This is marketing, not truth.

If you opt for a softail, keep in mind that this is not a full suspension bike, but something between a hardtail and FS.


SAG
I ride 25% SAG on shock, and get full travel on jumps. That's perfect to me.
I lock the shock on every uphill, because i like very reactive bike when pedaling.


BB drop
I think you should have a look at hardtail BB drop with same geo, and reduce it by around 20mm.

Mine is 42mm BB drop, whereas Kona ESD hardtail is 62mm (geo quite similar).
I do have pedal strike sometimes on rocks when climbing, but i have the feeling that I am "in" the bike.

I still have the ability to manual when i want.

Re: New Lexon spirit I totaly agree with RDY.

@Tijoe : sidluxe ultimate is 250 $ and 280g, not 500 $ / 500g.
The lexon is overpriced and you probably have a better ride and much cheaper bike with a classic kinematic chiner.

Re: Softail titanium MTB 29/27.5+ (all mountain - bikepacking) yes.
you need to mount the lower part first, then the upper part (with the help of a little piece of wood or a tool to expand so that you can insert the upper part of the shock easily)
When i read the you scratch the bottom of stanchion, i guess you put in the upper part first (front of bike) ?
