Cane Creek VALT Coil Spring

The VALT uses a high-performance steel alloy that allows for thinner wire diameters without sacrificing strength. This results in a significantly lighter spring that maintains the same spring rate and durability as heavier, traditional steel options.

Yes, the VALT features 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. Always verify your specific shock's stroke length and required spring rate before purchasing.

A linear rate spring provides a consistent, predictable compression feel throughout the entire travel of the shock. It is ideal if your bike frame already has a progressive suspension design, as it ensures you get full, usable travel without the spring fighting against the frame's natural ramp-up.

Selecting the correct spring rate depends on your rider weight, the bike's leverage ratio, and your preferred riding style. We recommend using a spring rate calculator specific to your bike frame's kinematics to ensure you achieve the proper sag and bottom-out resistance.

Yes, the VALT has an outer diameter of 52.5-54mm. While this fits most modern shocks, you should double-check that your shock body and frame clearance can accommodate this width to avoid any rubbing or interference during compression.
