They’re quite good considering the price point.

Compared to the Progressive, the Bitubos are much better.

We have a great Rear Shocks Testing Report put together filled with all our testing data we have collected over the years that may prove helpful.

All brands in the charts were awarded points between 0-100, based on how much better they are than stock.

The Bitubos are a budget friendly option we decided to carry, based on their performance show in our testing.

The 12" and 13" lengths have 2.7 and 3.7" of travel respectively.

Ride Safe, Ride Free.

Shifting the focus of the thread here. But what about changing the front suspension to correct for the increased shock length? I see some companies selling a +2" kit for the front. Progressive not being one of them.
Also, does anyone have pictures of their bikes with a set of 12.5s on. I think that's the route I might be going. Hard to find pictures online though.

Just changing the rear to 12.5 will not affect the front.. no changes will be necessary..
