Sprindex Light Trail Coil Spring
Adjusting the shock absorber spring can significantly improve the grip and handling of the bicycle. In fact, you can adjust your spring damper like an air damper depending on the conditions and type of terrain. The adjustment also allows you to stiffen the suspension during long climbs.
During the production of Sprindex springs, no savings were made on the materials used. The spring itself is made of spring steel (twisting) with very high tensile strength, which absorbs (and stores) force before the damper dissipates kinetic energy. The Sprindex adjustment is made of glass-reinforced polymer and the 5 attached adapters are made of Delrin polymer with very high slipperiness.
Features:
- Adjustable base spring rate by changing the length of effective coils
- Includes spring, adjuster, and 5 Delrin performance adapters that allow the spring to spin while compressing and also adapt to a variety of shocks on the market
- Coil is made of super high tensile spring steel similar to "lightweight" springs (which is why Sprindex is lighter than regular springs) in order to handle the stress of the system when adjusted to its highest spring rate setting, as well as reduce coil mass
- Behaves like a regular coil that has a spring rate the same as your adjusted Sprindex spring rate. Adjusting your Sprindex does not change the length of the coil and so does not change your preload. Preload is adjusted normally and with the threaded ring that came with your shock
- The first 80% of the stroke has a linear rate while the last 20% of the stroke has a progressive rate to help smooth bottom out
