Cane Creek VALT Coil Spring

The VALT spring is constructed from a high-performance alloy that allows for a thinner wire diameter without sacrificing strength. This results in a significantly lighter overall weight compared to traditional steel springs while maintaining the same spring rate.

Yes, the VALT spring features a 36.5mm inner diameter, which is designed to be compatible with a wide range of manufacturers including DVO, Ohlins, Manitou, Marzocchi, XFusion, MRP, BOS, Push, and DSP.

A linear rate spring compresses at a constant force throughout its travel, meaning the resistance increases predictably as the shock moves. It is best suited for frames that already have a progressive suspension design, as it provides consistent, predictable support through the entire stroke.

You need to verify three things: the inner diameter (36.5mm), the spring rate (lbs/in) required for your rider weight and frame leverage ratio, and the stroke length of your shock. Ensure the spring's stroke length is equal to or greater than your shock's stroke.

Not at all. The high-performance alloy used in the VALT spring is specifically engineered for high fatigue resistance, ensuring it can handle the demands of aggressive trail riding just as well as, if not better than, standard steel.
