Ohlins or Penske Shock Ride Height ... ?
Anyone know the ride height of Ohlins or Penske shock for the new-gen 250? The stock shock is 320mm eye-to-eye ...
Setting up a bike for a friend and need the info. Thanks! Edit : Called Penske and they said they are 315mm eye-to-eye and -/+ 12mm adjustability.

Plus 1 to running ride height to max. I have a Racetech G3-S shock and it allows for +8mm ride height over stock. I found it its better to run it to its max because at stock shock ride height I was dragging pegs when I raced. Going up to the max I greatly minimized that.
Plus it made the bike handle a little better, made it flick in slightly faster. If you want to retain stock handling, reduce the fork height from stock to the same amount you did (so 14mm showing above top triple down to 6mm)

ride height . . .
too much at the rear, too much at the front, this is so confusing.
