What would be a suitable shox for someone who weighs 220 LBS?

Im about that weight and this works just fine...for every day riding and some off road if you expect more than 4ft drops then this is not the one...

I'm 215 and have XC 30's on my trek 4500 and definately a big upgrade from what came stock. They come with a medium spring but you CAN get a stiffer spring if needed. Also, playing with the rebound and preload settings play a big part in dialing them in. I suppose it depends on what bike they are going on and how/where you ride. Just stay away from XC 28's as those will definitely bottom out on you lol.

This fork in stock fork would not be set up perfectly for a rider of that weight. Most coil forks come factory with springs for a rider weight of about 170lbs. If you purchase this fork I would recommend purchasing the RockShox XC30 Spring Internals, Top Cap, and Adjuster Knob Kit, 26", 100mm, X-Firm Black mpn: 11.4015.538.050 so that you would have the proper tuning spring in the fork. You could also consider a Solo Air fork which uses an air spring rather than a coil spring. In an air fork you can adjust the air pressure to accommodate for different rider weights.

I am 185 lbs and the spring is softer than I would like, so I would say plan on upgrading to a stiffer spring. (I believe Rock Shox does offer one.) However, the fork is a significant upgrade to the Suntour XCM-HLO that came on on my 2013 Marin Bolinas Ridge.

Most likely not, I'm 205 and I bottom mine out on 6" drops. I've heard you can get a stiffer spring though.

yes of course you can use it, that was my weight 2 years ago, I had the dart2 and then I change it for this xc30, now my weight is 175 more or less and it works pretty good.

I am 6'3" 220lbs and my son is 6'4" 230 lbs and we use them without a problem. The shoulder strapes cinch up, there is a chest strap and the waist cinches up. Make sure u have it on your back right. Heavy loads sometimes require a person to help get it on. they are designed to do what they are designed to do and do it well!!!!!

I have had one for about a year and am 200# and 6' tall. Comfortable for me but I would guess 230# would be about the limit. Good value and quality too.

I concur. Use the O'Neil chart. If you are between their specs I'd buy up in size, especially with a shorty. The legs ride up and crush the twig and berries.

The 4XXL may be a good fit for you. I ordered it by accident and exchanged for the 2XXL which is a good fit for me at 190 lbs.

Yes I think so. I weigh in a solid 220 and works for me. This is a little better than the other mattress tops I used.

I'm not sure of the exact specs but I'm about 200lbs and this box doesn't even flex when I'm jumping on it. It has internal supports and is built like a tank so 220lbs doesn't seem like it would be a problem.

I Probably wouldn't go much over 250lbs. But, I do not know what manufacturer suggests.

"The E200s is recommended for ages 13 and older and offers a maximum weight capacity of 220 pounds". That is a quote from the above description.

I'd say get a small. I'm 5'10 and 220 and a large fit me just fine. I'd think a medium would be way too big for you.

I'm 135lbs and my friend is 220lbs and have no problem using the ab roller.. Hope that gives Ya a good range :)

The manufacture rates it a 300 lbs. I am at 220 and it handles fine for me.

Do you have any chairs you would recommend for a heavier person? I'm not sure 250 will work.

I think a large would be the minimum. Also depends on how much gear you have. I would probably select an extra large to be safe.

This is an excellent product that I'm really happy to have. It might support a heavier person. I'm a little over 200, I'll bet it will work. You might want to call the company or just try it.

I weigh 120 and bought a small which fit perfectly. probably a medium would fit you. They work great!!

I weigh around 220 and have never felt unsafe. I have owned it for over a year.
