No, only '12/'13 can be interchanged.

I think the 2011 Race model, Nambo, and Cervantes might have used the same linkage, and shock setup as the 2012/13 models as well. Can't confirm it 100% though.

Edit. The Replicas don't use the same linkage as the 2012/2013, but do use a different linkage to the rest of the 2011 range.

Perhaps Nambo and Cervantes, definitely not Race, although even then it might only have been the Finnish Six Days bikes.

It was the race I wasn't sure about.. Pretty certain the Nambo is though

GasGas has a "previous models" tab that makes for some interesting browsing. On it I just confirmed the 2011 Cervantes and Nambotin replicas had the old linkage working TTX shocks and the sexy red-legged Marzocchis.

Thats what you think from the pictures. Download the exploded view from the manuals page and compare them (page 55/72 for 2011 Nambo and page 75/102 for the 2011 EC300). The nambo clearly shows the shock with the eye in the lower pivot as opposed to the clevis that sits over the linkage rocker.

You almost made me think I was crazy then Steve
