VALT Lightweight Steel Spring

The VALT spring uses advanced steel alloys that allow for thinner wire diameters without sacrificing durability. This results in a significantly lighter spring that maintains the consistent, linear feel riders expect from a traditional coil shock.

This specific model is designed for shocks with a 50mm stroke. You must ensure your shock's stroke length matches this specification, as using the wrong stroke length can lead to mechanical interference or damage.

The 650lbs rating refers to the spring's stiffness, or how much force is required to compress it one inch. A 650lbs rate is relatively firm, making it best suited for heavier riders or those who prefer a more supportive, less active suspension feel.

Yes, reducing unsprung weight—the weight not supported by the suspension—can improve your bike's overall responsiveness. By shaving grams off the spring, your suspension can react more quickly to small bumps and trail chatter, leading to better traction and handling.

Generally, VALT springs are designed to be compatible with most standard coil shocks, but you should always verify the inner diameter of the spring matches your shock's spring collar. If you are moving from a different brand of spring, check your shock manufacturer's compatibility guide to ensure a proper fit.
