Yeah, the trail shocks are 26" collapsed and the compacts are 24", so as Mike says, not too noticeable. Only about 1oz difference in the weight. For the non-shock models of each scrub another 1" off the respective lengths.

Fred, you won't notice much difference in the collapsed mode but the compacts do not extend as far and usually have a smaller diameter pole and slightly smaller diameter handles.
