I've scoured the Orange website but can't find any reference to their shock bush dimensions.

Can anybody enlighten me on what my 2018 Stage 4 needs? It's got a 190mm metric shock so I'm guessing its 22x8mm.

Yeah, pretty sure that's correct.

Got mine from Bounce, very hard wearing.

But if you're looking to make it slacker, I'd suggest using a -2deg headset instead. Got the Superstar one on my S4 and it's brilliant with a 130mm fork.

Thanks for that. Bushes ordered.

A -2deg headset it also on the cards. Wanted a Stage Evo after riding one almost two years ago now but could not stomach the cost and when this Stage 4 came up cheap on ebay I couldn't resist!

Cool, I'm sure you will love it. Such a fun bike.

If you feel it needs a better shock, I'd recommend the Cane Creek Air Inline.

Big improvement on mine, along with a Pike instead of Fox 34 on the front.

Funny you should mention that; there an Cane Creek DB Inline Air arriving in the post today. Hence the bush order!

I got a bargain Cane Creek Helm Works fork too so suspension should be on point.
