Cane Creek VALT Progressive Spring - 55mm
AAD2418
The spring’s stroke should be equal to or longer than your shock’s stroke — never shorter, as you will risk 'coil bind' which refers to the spring bottoming out before your shock does.
For example: shocks with a 47.5–57mm stroke suit springs marked 55mm, 57mm or 2.25".
Avoid excessively long springs like 65mm for shorter shocks — they won’t improve performance and may not fit correctly.
The Cane Creek VALT Progressive Spring - 55mm is designed to enhance your bike’s rear suspension performance by combining the small-bump sensitivity of a coil spring with the additional mid- and end-stroke support often sought from an air shock. This makes it ideal for modern frames with more linear leverage curves, delivering improved traction and control over rough terrain.
Constructed from high-quality steel, the VALT Progressive Spring offers the same performance and durability you’d expect from a standard steel spring but with a reduced weight, thanks to an optimised design. This reduction in unsprung mass enhances suspension responsiveness and overall bike handling, making it a great choice for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riders.
Features:
-
Progressive Rate Design: Provides increased mid- and end-stroke support, perfect for linear or regressive suspension designs.
-
Lightweight Construction: Saves between 50–200g depending on spring rate/stroke, improving suspension response and handling.
-
High-Quality Steel: Ensures strength and durability for long-term performance.
-
Wide Compatibility: VALT spring inner diameter is 36.5mm (1.43in), fitting Cane Creek, Öhlins, DVO, Manitou, Marzocchi, XFusion, ELKA/MRP, BOS, and DSP coil shocks. Fox coil shocks also fit but may have a slightly looser fit on the spring collars.
Specifications:
-
Stroke: 55mm
-
Inner Diameter: 36.5mm (1.43in)
-
Weight: Varies by spring rate/stroke
Compatibility:
The Cane Creek VALT Progressive Spring - 55mm is compatible with a wide range of modern coil shocks. For exact fitment, refer to your shock manufacturer’s specifications regarding stroke length and spring compatibility.
Installation Notes:
Installation requires standard suspension tools and knowledge. Professional setup is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Tracking and Notifications
All outgoing parcels are tracked. Tracking details will be provided once the item has been dispatched. NSDynamics does not send arrival notifications for inbound service items unless the parcel is damaged in transit or missing important components required for service.
Customers are encouraged to use tracked and insured freight when sending items to NSDynamics. Responsibility for the parcel remains with the sender until the item is received and checked in at the NSDynamics workshop.
Shipping Fees
Return express postage back to the customer is included free of charge for all full Factory and Hyperformance service types. It does not apply to minor repairs or basic services. Shipping charges for parts or accessories are calculated during checkout.
Postage to NSDynamics is the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise arranged. Warranty items may qualify for return postage coverage only if they were originally supplied by NSDynamics and a clear fault is confirmed.
Shipping Insurance
All parcels sent from NSDynamics are covered under NSDynamics’ freight insurance. In the unlikely event that an item is lost or damaged during return transit, it will be replaced with a comparable item where possible. If a parcel arrives damaged, photo evidence must be supplied immediately. NSDynamics is not responsible for parcels where the receiver has chosen the 'Authority To Leave' option.
Packaging Requirements
Customers must ensure that their suspension is packaged securely and appropriately for shipping. If an item arrives in packaging that is damaged or unsuitable for safe return, NSDynamics may use a heavy-duty branded box and apply a $5 fee to the final invoice. This ensures your suspension is protected during return freight. Customers are encouraged to retain and reuse this box for future service bookings.
Transit Times and Delays
While NSDynamics uses express freight to minimise delivery delays, transit times cannot be guaranteed. NSDynamics is not responsible for delays caused by freight carriers, public holidays, weather events, or other external disruptions. If a parcel has been delayed more than 5 business days beyond its expected delivery date, customers are welcome to contact NSDynamics for support.
Public Holidays
Unfortunately our workshop is closed on all nationwide and Queensland-specific public holidays, so we are not able to ship sales or service orders on these days. Any services or sales orders placed on public holidays will be processed and dispatched the following business day.
New Zealand and International Shipping
NSDynamics offers international shipping to New Zealand via Australia Post. Standard delivery times range from 5 to 10 business days. Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery details and ensuring someone is available to receive the parcel.
Goods sent to New Zealand may be subject to import duties and GST. NSDynamics does not collect or cover any customs charges. It is the customer’s responsibility to be aware of local import requirements and costs. Orders returned, delayed, or destroyed due to unpaid duties or taxes are not the responsibility of NSDynamics.
In the event that a product needs to be returned from New Zealand, including for warranty inspection, all return postage costs are the responsibility of the customer. NSDynamics does not cover international return freight for items not originally purchased from NSDynamics.
International orders are processed in New Zealand Dollars (NZD), and prices do not include Australian GST. Currency conversions may vary depending on the payment platform used at checkout.
