Rear shock springs from Manitou with various spring rates (pounds/inch), usable strokes (inches or millimetres) and lengths (millimetres).

Spring Rate (stiffness) is used to select springs for different riders and/or riding conditions.  Use our Bike Spring Rate Calculators to determine the ideal coil spring rate.

Springs must be selected to work with the diameter of your shock, the stroke/preload and overall length.

Preload (turning the threaded collar to tighten the spring) is used to fine-tune the ride height and can compensate for small differences in rider weight and/or riding conditions.

Use our Coil Spring Calculators to find the spring rate (in lb/in) and other variables for the spring you are replacing.
