rear suspension options

[jesse1004]

im upgrading to long travel in the front of my 250 so I also wanted to match the rear. what are my options. ive been searching but cant find much info. Ive read about a cr 500 rear end, how does that work and does it add any travel or how about the no link?

To update the rear to a long travel setup, like the CR500 or no-link, you will need more than just the shock. With the CR500 link setup you'll need a CR500 link style aftermarket frame, a CR500 link swing arm, and then a CR500 link rear shock and linkage. With the no-link setup you'll need a no-link aftermarket frame, a no-link swing arm, and a no-link rear shock. Both setups offer more travel, but are both slightly different from each other as far as handling goes. The CR500 is better for soaking up huge air/hard landings, whereas the no-link is better for whoops. Regardless, either setup is superior to the stock link setup in every way. Hope that helps.
