Cane Creek VALT Spring

The VALT spring is engineered to be significantly lighter than traditional steel coils. By reducing unsprung weight, it allows your suspension to react more quickly to trail chatter, resulting in better traction and a more responsive ride feel.

The VALT spring features a 36.5mm inner diameter, making it compatible with a wide range of shocks from brands like Cane Creek, Manitou, Marzocchi, XFusion, ELKA/MRP, and BOS. If you are running a Fox shock, you will need to use a specific adapter to ensure a proper fit.

Spring rate selection is highly dependent on your rider weight, bike leverage ratio, and personal preference for suspension sag. We recommend using a suspension calculator or consulting your bike manufacturer's setup guide to ensure this 550 lbs rate aligns with your specific riding weight and frame geometry.

Yes, the stroke length is a critical specification. You must ensure that your shock's stroke does not exceed the 57mm capacity of this spring. Installing a spring on a shock with a longer stroke can lead to coil bind, which will damage both the spring and the shock body.

While titanium springs are often lighter, the VALT spring is designed to offer a superior balance of durability and weight savings. It provides the performance benefits of a lightweight coil without the high cost or potential fatigue issues sometimes associated with titanium.
