RockShox Vivid/Kage Coil Spring
Best durable upgrade for gravity riders seeking consistent suspension performance.
Dialing in your suspension feel is the ultimate upgrade for any serious rider, and swapping your coil spring is the most direct way to get there. You trade the convenience of air-adjustable sag for the consistent, linear support and reliable performance that only a dedicated steel spring can provide.
