    Any dual suspension bikes that fit a killer whale pack?

    I'm looking at the 2003 Trek Fuel 80. I haven't been to see the bike yet. It's really hard to tell from a photo if the killer whale will fit.

    Does anyone know of a dual suspension MTB that will somehow accommodate a killer whale battery?

    Here'a a photo for reference.

      Older dual suspension bikes will often have larger triangles. I'm building up a '90's GT LTS similar to this:

        A friend is building up an older, but high quality for it's time, full sus bike. I'll try and get a picture or two, but I did notice his battery (Dolphin, maybe Killer Whale?) pack fit great.

          Hi, there are a lot of, usually older, great bikes that will fit even bigger batteries. I still cruise craig's list bike's all the time, just search "full suspension" and look for big triangles. They are there. There are threads here with pictures of frames that fit various batteries. Make cardboard cutouts of batteries you like and check frames. Don't forget, you can put a battery, wonderfully low, under the triangle on almost any bike. Unless your bashing and jumping, it's fine. Get a good, used bike first, order a kit to fit and get it going! your on to some fun. Happy Motoring e-rod

            That should be no problem at all. I was able to fit a much larger 72v 17.5ah triangle battery into a 2007 Trek Fuel 98, which looks a lot like that 2003 pictured above. Giant Anthem's will easily fit the killer whale too, even small size frames.
