Vorsprung Smashpot V2 - Fork Coil Conversion System Kit
SMOOTH & CONSISTENT Why Coil? Air springs have improved substantially over the years - and we've been at the forefront of air spring development for years, so we've got no bridges to sell you. Yeah, coils are heavier than air, and for some riders that alone is a dealbreaker - fair enough. The advantages of coil springs, however, are clear: Zero stiction or friction in a coil spring. And no moving seals in the spring system to wear out, cause friction or leak. Zero spring rate variation allowing more mid-stroke support and consistency. More oil in the fork - lubrication and service life are improved. In short, improvements in sensitivity, grip, compliance, mid-stroke support and consistency, with reductions in harshness and hand pain.mething... Smashpot Features Turn your mountain bike into a monster truck Phenomenal sensitivity & bump-eating performance Consistent, predictable spring rate in all conditions Cuts fork friction roughly in half compared to an air fork Adjustable hydraulic bottom out control for the big hits Caters to rider weights from 45kg (100lbs) to 125kg (275lbs) with 11 coil spring rates Allows lighter riders to get the most use out of their forks Allows heavier riders the support they need without the harshness that comes with excessive air pressures Easily adjust your travel with internal spacers - no new parts required Unique Hydraulic Bottom-out System prevents harsh bottoming Can be transferred between different forks with minimal parts /cost Reliable and low maintenance, set and forget. Easy to install and easily serviceable BOTTOM OUT RESISTANCE Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out Control Weight aside, air springs outperform coil springs in one critical area: bottoming resistance. The hydraulic bottoming control valve addresses this with a speed sensitive shimmed valve which engages progressively and seamlessly in the last 40mm of travel, bringing the fork to a smooth and controlled stop at the end of the travel. High energy and low energy inputs are effectively managed without harshness. Easy tool-free external adjustment ensures you get as much or as little bottoming resistance as you need at the turn of a dial. Increased stability as energy is dissipated, rather than stored and thrown back at you.e something... Dual-Rate Progressive Springs New dual-rate progressive spring curves for 180-200mm travel settings give you the ultimate combination of initial compliance and deep stroke support. Say goodbye to harshness. You've never ridden a mountain bike fork that felt this good. Supple? Yes. Supportive? Yes. Eat up the small stuff without compromising on the big compressions. Smashpot V2 is more progressive at firmer spring rates - more support for heavier & harder-charging riders, without restricting travel usage for lighter & more cruisy riders. Two secondary springs are included with each 180+mm setup so you can fine tune your progression and starting spring rate.
