Giant Anthem rear shock size?

[TheRealHill]

I bought a Giant Anthem frame without a rear shock and do not know what size the rear shock should be. I can get a

Fox float R that measures 165mm eye to eye, but I am unsure if it would fit.

I hope someone can help me.

What year anthem is doe the rear shox mount vertically or horizontially?

 

Maybe post a pic of the frame so we can see.

 

My anthem' rear shox measures as follows 165mm eye to eye but the frame is a 2010 Anthem x the shox mounts vertically in the frame and the bike has 4" of rear travel, I'm not shure if the shox are the same for the older anthem version where the shox mount horizontially and the bike had 3.5" of rear travel.

 

Let us know

The shock mounts horizontally, as far as I know it's a 2008 model Anthem 2.

I'll see if I can get hold of an older model Anthem rider for you.

 

Will let know asap
