RockShox Metric Coil Spring

Spring rate selection depends on your rider weight, bike leverage ratio, and personal preference for suspension feel. A 600 lbs rate is generally stiffer, making it better suited for heavier riders or those who prefer a more supportive, less plush ride feel.

No, this spring is specifically designed for RockShox Metric shocks. You must ensure your shock's stroke length and eye-to-eye measurement are compatible with this spring's 174mm length and 67.5-75mm travel range before purchasing.

Coil springs offer a more linear suspension feel and reduced friction compared to air springs, which often results in better small-bump sensitivity and more consistent performance on long, rough descents. However, they are heavier and less adjustable on the fly than air shocks.

No, this product is sold as the spring only. You will need to reuse your existing shock hardware or purchase compatible mounting hardware separately to install it on your specific frame.

It is critical to match the spring's travel range to your shock's stroke length. Using a spring with the wrong travel range can lead to coil bind, where the spring fully compresses before the shock does, potentially damaging your suspension components.
