RockShox Metric Coil Spring

Spring rate selection depends on your rider weight, bike leverage ratio, and personal preference for suspension feel. A 500 lb spring is generally suited for mid-weight riders or those seeking a stiffer, more supportive platform, but you should consult your specific bike frame's suspension chart to confirm the correct rate for your setup.

No, this spring is specifically designed for metric shocks with a 134mm length and 47.5-55mm travel range. Always verify your shock's stroke length and the required spring length before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

At 544.31 grams, this steel coil is built for durability and consistent performance rather than weight savings. While it is heavier than an air spring or a lightweight SLS steel option, the trade-off is a reliable, linear feel that many riders prefer for aggressive trail riding.

If you are comfortable removing your rear shock and have the appropriate tools to release the preload collar, you can install this yourself. However, if you are unsure about the process or lack the necessary bike stand and tools, a professional mechanic can ensure it is seated and preloaded correctly.

Steel coil springs offer a more consistent, linear feel throughout the travel, meaning the suspension reacts predictably to small bumps and big hits alike. They are generally less sensitive to temperature changes and require less frequent maintenance than air-sprung systems.
