Cane Creek VALT Spring

The VALT spring is engineered to be significantly lighter than traditional steel coils while maintaining the durability and consistent performance riders expect. It allows you to shed weight from your suspension setup without sacrificing the linear feel of a steel spring.

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

Spring rate selection depends on your rider weight, bike leverage ratio, and personal preference for suspension firmness. We recommend consulting your bike manufacturer's setup guide or using an online spring rate calculator to determine if 550 lbs is appropriate for your specific frame and weight.

Yes, the stroke length is a critical specification. You must ensure that your shock's stroke does not exceed the 63mm capacity of this spring to prevent coil bind, which can damage the spring or your shock during full compression.

Installation is straightforward, but you must ensure your shock's spring retainer is compatible with the 36.5mm inner diameter. If you are installing this on a Fox shock, you will specifically need an adapter to bridge the gap between the spring and the shock body.
