Which Vanquish CE sizes share the same body?
Sizes that print the same spool dimensions and max drag in Shimano Japan's table are grouped together. Within a group, the size code mostly changes the gear ratio (and sometimes handle or weight). This is our grouping from the official figures, not a Shimano frame definition, and it says nothing about whether parts swap.
| Sizes | Spool | Max drag | Weight | Gear ratios | US SKU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1000SSS, 1000SSSPG | 40 mm dia. / 13.5 mm stroke | 3 kg | 140 g | 4.4–5.1:1 | – |
| C2000S, C2000SHG | 43 mm dia. / 13.5 mm stroke | 3 kg | 145 g | 5.1–6:1 | – |
| C2500S, C2500SXG | 44 mm dia. / 13.5 mm stroke | 3 kg | 150 g | 5.1–6.3:1 | – |
