RockShox Spring

This spring is specifically engineered for metric rear shocks. Before purchasing, verify that your shock is a metric model and that the 174 mm length and 67.5-75 mm travel specifications align with your specific shock's requirements.

Spring rate selection depends on your rider weight, bike leverage ratio, and personal preference for suspension feel. A 475 lb rate is a specific stiffness setting; if you are unsure, consult your bike manufacturer's setup guide or use an online spring rate calculator to match your body weight and frame kinematics.

Yes, this coil spring is designed to be serviceable and rebuildable. It is built for long-term durability, allowing you to maintain consistent performance over time with standard shop tools.

At 635.03 grams, this coil spring adds a noticeable amount of weight compared to an air spring setup. However, many riders prefer this trade-off for the consistent, linear performance and reliability that a coil provides on demanding trails.

The 174 mm length is critical because it must fit the physical dimensions of your shock body. Using a spring that is too short or too long can prevent proper installation or interfere with the shock's ability to compress through its full travel range.
