Axis shocks. Dual spring rate, dual adjustable. Made for MX, 2''+ arms With 180 pd rider.

What wieght would you rate these at with stock 400ex geometry and using for XC?

Thanks :)

You will need to send in demintions of your setup to be valved and sprung correctly. Shock companies have sheets that you can fill in the blanks for this.

Well, the trouble I'm having is my existing shocks are too stiff for XC. But the cost of getting them revalved and resprung versus just selling them and getting new shocks is about equal. So now I'm looking getting lighter shocks setup for mx off ebay that I could use for XC with minimal expendature. The wife is not happy with me :D

I guess you could just try then and see what happens.
