RockShox Metric Coil Spring

No, this specific coil spring is designed exclusively for the RockShox Super Deluxe Coil rear shock. It will not fit other models or brands, so please verify your shock model before purchasing.

The spring rate determines how much force is required to compress the shock. A 400 lb rate is a specific stiffness; you should consult a spring rate calculator or your bike manufacturer's setup guide based on your rider weight and frame leverage ratio to ensure it provides the correct sag.

This spring is designed for shocks with a stroke length between 67.5 mm and 75 mm and has a physical length of 174 mm. You must match these dimensions to your current shock to ensure the spring seats properly without binding or being too loose.

Steel coil springs are generally preferred for their consistent, linear feel and sensitivity to small bumps, which provides excellent traction. While they are heavier than air springs, they are highly durable and less prone to performance changes caused by heat buildup during long descents.

While this spring adds noticeable weight compared to an air setup, the mass is located low and centrally on the bike. Most riders find the improved suspension performance and traction benefits outweigh the slight increase in overall bike weight.
