Rear spring replacement XTZ 660

Post by untertaber »

Recently bought my XTZ 660, sadly the rear shock is shot.. pogo stick lol. Now since the stock one is very soft and rubish according to allot of people whats a good alternative? Rebuilding is would set me back anywhere form 250-500 accoriding to what ive found, since I cant do it myself (got no nitrogen machine). What would be a good shock replacement? Im not looking to spend allot, somewhere in the range of what rebuilding it would cost would be nice. Any tips are appreciated!

YSS is about £400. Wilbers is about £570. Wilber’s is more adjustable.
