Shock Size / Tune / Upgrading
If you wish to change your shock for an upgrade or a different model to your preference, please
consult with your suspension supplier to ensure the shock is the correct size and the tune suits the
kinematics of the Megawatt. The following details will help with tting a new shock and ensuring
the tune is suitable.
Size
230x62.5mm Bearing End
Note a standard eyelet shock without a bearing end can be used with the correct hardware size.
Please ensure the hardware matches the shock and the required size for the frame. If a bearing
end shock can be sourced, this would be preferential to ensure the smoothest suspension action.

Tune
When purchasing a new shock, the provider will need a tune to suit the Megawatt suspension
kinematics, the charts provided below will need referenced by your suspension provider. The
Megawatt has a progressive layout, this ensures more support the further you push through the
travel ensuring a stable and predictable ride. This is a 22% change in leverage ratio from start to
nish, supple at the start and support ramps up throughout the travel. Anti-squat is at 99% at sag
at 50t sprocket and reduces to 50% at the 10t sprocket. This is to aid with traction when climbing
keeping a supple suspension action and pedal bob is reduced by the smooth power provided
by the Shimano EP8 motor. Anti-rise is balanced on the Megawatt to ensure some squat under
breaking, helping with rider position and traction.
