Cane Creek VALT Steel Coil Rear Shock Spring

The VALT spring uses a high-performance steel alloy that allows for thinner wire diameters. This results in a significantly lighter overall weight compared to traditional steel coils without sacrificing the durability or linear feel that coil riders prefer.

This spring has an inner diameter of 36.5 mm, making it compatible with a wide range of shocks from brands including Cane Creek, Fox, Manitou, Marzocchi, XFusion, ELKA, MRP, and BOS. Always double-check your specific shock's required inner diameter and stroke length before purchasing.

The spring rate determines how much force is required to compress the spring. A 400 lbs rate means it takes 400 pounds of force to compress the spring one inch; choosing the right rate depends on your rider weight, bike leverage ratio, and personal preference for suspension firmness.

You should match the spring's stroke length to your shock's stroke. While you can sometimes use a spring with a longer stroke than your shock, you should never use a spring with a shorter stroke length, as it will bind before the shock reaches full travel, potentially causing damage.

Yes, the VALT spring is compatible with many Fox coil shocks, provided the inner diameter and stroke requirements align with your specific model. It is a popular upgrade for riders looking to shed weight from their Fox setup.
