RockShox Metric Spring

This spring is specifically designed for RockShox metric-sized shock bodies. Before purchasing, verify that your shock requires a metric spring and check that your current shock's stroke length falls within the 67.5-75 mm range specified for this part.

The spring rate determines how much force is required to compress the spring. A 300 lb rating is relatively light, typically suited for lighter riders or those who prefer a more active, supple suspension feel that tracks closely to the ground.

Yes, swapping your coil spring is the primary way to adjust sag on a coil-sprung shock. If you find you are blowing through your travel too easily or not using enough of it, changing to a different spring rate is the correct way to tune your suspension's support.

While this spring is engineered for RockShox metric shocks, it may fit other brands if the inner diameter and length specifications match your shock body. However, we recommend sticking to the manufacturer's specified parts to ensure proper fitment and performance.

The 174 mm measurement refers to the free length of the spring when it is uncompressed. Ensure your shock's spring retainer is adjusted to accommodate this length to prevent the spring from rattling or binding.
