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 ...

Typical coil springs are made from round wire that is wound into a helical shape (Figure 1). Wave springs, on the other hand, ...

Coilover shock absorbers are one of the most common forms of suspension on our kind of cars, whether used on Mustang II-based independent front suspensions, IRS systems, or in conjunction with ...

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 ...

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 ...
