MEGAWATT CARBON BIKE MANUAL | 3 8
details will help with fitting a new shock and ensuring the tune is suitable.
SIZE
Shock Length - 230x65mm
Hardware – 25x8mm / 30x8mm
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 Carbon suspension kinematics, the charts
provided below will need to be referenced by your suspension provider. The Megawatt Carbon has a progressive layout,
which ensures more support the further you push through the travel for a stable and predictable ride. This is a 24% change
in leverage ratio from start to finish. Anti-squat is at 102% at sag for a 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 Eagle Powertrain motor. Anti-rise is balanced on the Megawatt Carbon to ensure some squat under
breaking, helping with rider position and traction.
