Cane Creek VALT Coil Spring

The VALT spring uses a specialized high-performance steel alloy that allows for a significant reduction in weight compared to standard steel coils. It maintains the same durability and strength while helping to shave grams off your bike's overall weight.

Yes, the VALT is designed with a 36.5mm inner diameter, making it compatible with a wide range of shocks from brands like DVO, Ohlins, Manitou, Marzocchi, XFusion, MRP, BOS, Push, and DSP.

A linear rate spring is ideal if your frame has a progressive suspension design. It provides a consistent, predictable feel throughout the travel, which helps improve traction and keeps your rear tire glued to the ground on technical terrain.

You need to verify that your shock's stroke and eye-to-eye length are compatible with the spring's 57mm length and 52.5-54mm outer diameter. Always double-check your specific shock model's requirements before purchasing to ensure proper clearance.

Because the rate is linear, the spring provides a very consistent response, which makes the suspension feel smoother and more responsive. However, it relies on your frame's leverage curve to handle bottom-out resistance, so it works best on bikes already designed with progressive suspension.
