Kraton V5 vs Exb shocks

[Duggin]

I’ve got a bent front shock shaft on my V4 and thinking of getting some new shocks from Jenny’s. The Exb shocks are slightly cheaper than V5. Is there a difference?

Pretty sure it’s just the shock ends. Exb are bigger but still fit in the older less beefy arms.

I think (not 100% sure) that the V5/EXB are a tiny bit longer than the V4, but it doesn't cause any issues.

One thing you should know: the body and top cap have a different thread pitch for the V5/EXB and for the V4. You can swap the internals, but you can't use a V4 cap with a V5 shock body.

Beefier shock ends would not be a bad bad thing. I’ve already converted over to the Nero with the teckno steel balls
