RockShox Metric Coil Spring

No, this specific spring is designed exclusively for the RockShox Super Deluxe Coil series. It will not fit other RockShox shock models or brands.

Coil springs offer a linear spring rate, which provides a more consistent, supple feel throughout the entire stroke compared to the progressive nature of air springs. This results in better small-bump sensitivity and increased traction on technical, uneven terrain.

Yes. Unlike air springs, which can experience pressure changes due to heat buildup during long descents, this steel coil maintains a consistent feel regardless of how hard or long you ride.

The spring rate refers to the stiffness of the coil. A 450 lb rating means it takes 450 pounds of force to compress the spring one inch. Choosing the correct rate is critical for achieving the proper sag and support for your specific body weight and riding style.

If you have experience with shock maintenance and the correct tools to remove the shock from your bike, installation is straightforward. However, if you are unsure about setting up your sag or preload correctly, it is best to have a qualified mechanic handle the installation.
