RockShox Metric Spring

A 600 lb spring rate is generally suited for heavier riders or those who prefer a stiffer, more supportive suspension feel. To ensure it is right for you, check your bike's specific leverage ratio and your total rider weight, as this spring is designed to provide firm support rather than a plush, soft feel.

This spring is designed for shocks with a 67.5mm to 75mm stroke and has a physical length of 174mm. Before purchasing, verify that your shock's stroke length falls within this range and that your shock body can accommodate a 174mm spring length.

No, the Electric Red finish is purely aesthetic and does not impact the structural integrity or performance of the coil. It is a durable coating designed to resist wear while adding a distinct look to your suspension setup.

While coil springs are generally low-maintenance, they should be inspected periodically for any signs of wear or coating damage. Because this model is designed to be easily serviced and rebuilt, you can clean and re-grease the spring seat during your regular shock maintenance intervals to keep it running smoothly.

Yes, at 726 grams, this steel coil spring will add noticeable weight compared to an air spring system. However, the trade-off is a more consistent, linear suspension feel that doesn't suffer from the heat-related pressure changes common in air shocks.
