The performance of your shock is directly related to the quality of your spring. VALT springs offer a significant weight reduction over standard steel springs. Riders can enjoy the performance benefits of coil shocks without the weight penalty.
Progressive-Rate VALT coil springs are designed and tuned by Cane Creek’s engineering team to provide riders with a true rise-in-rate spring curve. The Progressive-Rate VALT springs maintain the sensitivity and “set it and forget it” mentality of a traditional coil set up, but with the progressiveness and ramp up that hard-charging riders and many frame designs demand. Progression begins at 50% into the stroke of the spring.
Below is a graph that shows the difference in spring progressiveness between our standard VALT spring and our Progressive-Rate VALT spring. Rate increases are proportional to a DB Kitsuma Air air spring with (1) volume spacer installed
30 Day Coil Swap Program: Starting May 20th, 2022, if you buy a coil shock and coil spring directly from our website, you have 30 days after the delivery of your shock to try that spring out and make sure you are satisfied. Should you need a new coil spring, the customer will pay shipping to have it returned and we’ll exchange your coil spring free of charge!
The progressive coil improved the performance of my ebike. It eliminated uphill pedal strikes and bottoming out by requiring more force to compress the spring as I get deeper into the travel. Ebikes use more suspension due to weight – I swapped a 450lb SLS with a 450 – 550lb progressive.
