Hi, first post here and I'm interested in this frame as a do it it all trail and xc bike.

Those of you who have one, what shock and tune have you gone with and how does it ride? Looking at the photo from Pinkbike it looks like the stock NS Bike is shipped with the following tune:
2020 Series Float Trunnion
2020, FLOAT DPS, F-S, K, Remote Down, Trunnion, Evol LV, PTU, NS Bikes, Synonim, 165, 42.5, 0.6 Spacer, DCM, DRM, CMF, Neutral Logo

It's there an equivalent Rockshox tune? (MM I'm guessing)
The new 35mm SID looks ideal for this frame.

I talked to a local suspension company about this. They said that more important than the tune (DCM,DRM etc.) is to get a shock with the right volume size (i the case above LV - Large Volume). Tune can be adjusted later on (preferably with a shock service).

I went with this one: https://www.ebay.at/itm/Fox-Performance-DPS-165-x-42-5-Float-Mtb-Shock-Trunnion-3-Pos-Adjust/143042612579 as the volume and tune (except climb) is the same as with the NS Bikes and it's pretty cost efficient. Can't say how it performs tough, I don't have the frame yet (and might have to wait a while)

2018, FLOAT DPS, P-S, A, 3pos, Trunnion Evol LV, Giant, Anthem 27.5 2, 165, 42.5, 0.8 Spacer, DCM, DRM, CML, YS 2272/YS 2272 Logo

Anyone able to find a shock with remote for this frame? 165x42.5 Trunnion Remote sizes are listed for both Rock Shox Deluxe and Super Deluxe, but apparently it's not available to retail (and of course the Fox DPS used in the NS Bikes, but that's not even listed on the Fox site)

Would a shock with piggyback even fit in the frame?
