DESCRIPTION

WHY STAY WITH AIR?

Air shocks are typically lighter, more easily tuneable (being able to change their spring load via a shock pump, rather than a new coil spring), and work well with virtually any suspension linkage. Modern air shocks are highly tuneable, comparatively inexpensive, and robust.

An important factor to consider before you swap your shock out: not all suspension linkages are ideal for coil shocks. Bikes like those in the Norco lineup have progressive shock rates- the leverage ratio of the shock increases as you go through the travel. This means that you can swap to a coil shock without running the risk of bottoming-out as easily, or having to run excessive bottom-out resistance. Other bike designs might not be as progressive, and thus aren’t as well suited for coil shocks.

It wasn’t long ago that all rear suspension shocks were coil. As technology has progressed, lighter weight and more easily-tuneable air shocks have taken over the market. The coil shock isn’t dead, however- technology on that side of the coin has progressed just as quickly, with todays coil suspension products being a fraction of the weight of their predecessors, and able to mimic many of the performance-boosting adjustments of their air-sprung peers.
