Cane Creek VALT Coil Spring

A linear rate spring is best suited for frames that already have progressive suspension kinematics built into the frame design. By using a linear spring, you maintain a consistent feel throughout the travel, preventing the suspension from feeling overly harsh or ramping up too quickly at the end of the stroke.

Yes, the VALT spring is designed with a 36.5mm inner diameter, making it compatible with most major shock manufacturers including DVO, Ohlins, Manitou, Marzocchi, XFusion, MRP, BOS, Push, and DSP. Always double-check your specific shock's required spring inner diameter and length before purchasing.

The VALT uses a high-performance steel alloy that allows for thinner wire diameters while maintaining the same spring rate and durability as traditional steel. This material efficiency results in a significantly lighter spring without sacrificing the reliability or performance of a coil setup.

You need to confirm three things: your shock's stroke length, the required spring rate (measured in lbs/in), and the physical length of the spring. Since this spring has a 36.5mm inner diameter and a 65mm length, ensure those dimensions match your current shock setup.

While titanium springs are generally lighter, they are significantly more expensive and can sometimes be harder to source in specific rates. The VALT offers a middle ground, providing substantial weight savings over standard steel at a more accessible price point while delivering the consistent, linear performance coil riders prefer.
