Suspension springs for motocross and enduro - the precise choice for your weight and riding style

Suspension springs are the foundation of MX/off-road suspension setup. In this category you’ll find fork and shock springs that set the correct ride height, keep the bike balanced, and help the suspension work through the full stroke instead of riding too high or too deep. The right spring rate reduces harsh bottoming on big hits, improves front-end bite in ruts, and keeps traction when you’re charging whoops in a jersey, pants, body armor and knee guards. When choosing springs, start with fit and compatibility: exact bike model/year and whether you need fork springs or a shock spring, plus your fork/shock type. Next, pick the spring rate for your real riding weight (rider + boots, helmet, hydration pack) and your pace. Material and design matter too—high-quality steel with consistent rate helps damping feel predictable. Finally, match your conditions: sand and fast tracks often like more support, while slick roots and rocks benefit from compliant initial stroke, then tune with preload and clickers after. Common mistakes are “fixing” poor sag with preload alone or mixing mismatched front/rear rates, which makes the bike push or swap under braking bumps. Replace springs if sag numbers can’t be set within spec, the bike sits uneven, or you’ve changed weight, load, or riding intensity. Always re-check static and race sag after installation and inspect seats, collars, and spacers for wear. Tip: Measure race sag with full gear on and set spring rate first—clickers are for fine-tuning, not correcting the wrong spring.
