these incompatibility are mentionned on Banshee website specification sheet .
I know as well that the fast fenix ( french shock manufacturer) is not compatible either

@abeck are you sure the piggy back of the shock doesnt collide with the downtube before using full travel? I dented my Topaz 2 piggy back bunny hopping in the parking lot on my Titan after I finished my build...
You should check that out by compressing the shock with the spring removed.

Yikes, thanks for the heads up! I've only had a 5 or 6 rides so far, with some decent compressions and haven't noticed any issues. Will go take the spring out and do a clearance check asap. Would be a shame, the JadeX is a neat shock on this bike.

same here. ironically, the reservoir in thatposition would help solve clearance issues on some other frames (like intense tracer).. I sold my jade because of this.. hate it upside down..stronger than me.. anyways... get an ext storia while you are shopping for coil that fits..

Took the spring off, the piggy will contact the frame at full bottom. I have to get a good way into the bumper for that to happen though. I'll post pics.

You can try to rotate the whole piggyback on the shock, check the DVO Jade X service manual, It's easy to service.

Same as with the Topaz 2 unfortunately. Bottoms out at around 135mm Travel or something around that. You have a good 10-15mm shock stroke left.
I could pretty easily get it that deep into its travel..

Yikes, that's a pretty significant problem. Assuming the X2 the frame comes with doesn't make contact..?

The contact is due to the fact that the piggyback is at 90deg to normal on the JadeX. The vast majority of shocks will work just fine including the Fox X2 that comes with the bike. From the sounds of it, the Topaz2 may be worse than the JadeX. There's really only a couple mm left in the stroke, I'm well into the bumper when the piggy contacts the frame and there's only a couple mm left of the seatube/rocker clearance. Anyway, big props to @plumpssack for pointing this out to me. Probably a good idea to find a solution before I regret it.
