WR shock specs

Does anyone know what the over all length and shock stroke is of the new WR shock?

 

Did the linkage ratio change on the WR?

 

 Thank you for any info you can pass along.

According to Rally Raid UK, the WR shock is 14-15mm longer than standard one, so it's indeed 230 (228) mm travel (and not just the claimed 220mm). 

 

The "dog bone" links are same lenght as the standard's (145mm), but the frame height is only increased in 15mm (instead of 28-30mm), so (and this is my guessing) there has to be some difference in the link arm itself (wich have a diferent part number than standard), so the frame (and ground clearance) height is increased only in 15mm.

Thank you so much!
