Spring Suspension Vs Air Suspension Mtb at Annabelle Toomey blog

Spring Suspension Vs Air Suspension Mtb. Coil shocks use that spring to support your weight, while an air shock has a can of air that get compressed by a piston as you sit on the bike to keep you comfortable. While the hydraulic dampers are largely identical, coil shocks (left) use wound metal as a spring while air shocks (right) use compressed air for a spring. The advantage of this is the linear nature of the suspension during the compression cycle. Coil shocks have a steel or titanium spring coil around the rear shock body that. Coil forks use a metal coil as the spring (duh!). This guide outlines the pros and cons of using a coil fork vs air fork for mountain biking. Fewer seals and far more consistent performance on long descents give the coil shock a big advantage. Unlike with an air fork, the spring rate. Based purely on performance, a coil shock is going to offer a smoother suspension action. On the other hand, a coil spring will have a linear spring rate, meaning the energy needed to compress the spring will be consistent through its travel. The spring rate on an air spring will be progressive, meaning that it will become firmer as it’s compressed. The most obvious difference between coil shocks vs air shocks is how they look.
