When designing helical or compression springs, you’ll confront several challenges and trade-offs, especially when it comes to getting the best possible performance from the wire. You will want to use ...

Whether you ride a hardtail or a full-suspension mountain bike, its suspension has one main job – to absorb impacts from the trail by compressing and then return to its original position, in a ...

The shock's hydraulic bottom out opens up coil-spring performance to a host of linear bikes, while damping support and adjustments are impressive – at a reasonable price RockShox’s enduro-focused ...

Take a steel rod, wrap it into a spiral shape, throw some engineered heat-treating in the mix, and you've got yourself a coil spring. That spring can be used as part of your suspension to support the ...

The Fox Float X2 shocks, both air and coil, get an all-new design using a monotube shaft and new transverse compression damping circuit. The goal? Make it smoother and stronger, and make it fit on ...

Helical coil springs are a mainstay in today’s automotive suspensions, with a basic design essentially unchanged since their advent. MW Industries (Rosemont, IL, US) is the largest US spring ...

Suspension handling is always a compromise between a good ride and good performance. Today's systems can provide both, but a little understanding of what factors affect spring rate can help you ...
