The new Superlight V2 springs have been developed with exotic materials used mainly in motorsport applications. This material features very high tensile strength and modulus which, together with very careful design and specific manufacturing processes, allow the new generation of Superlight springs to weigh up to 30% less than previous Superlight and other "normal" steel springs (the percentage of weight reduction depends on the spring stiffness and travel values).
The new features are :
EXT Superlight V2 springs are carefully calculated based on the minimum length for the required travel, meaning that your spring will fully cover the shock's travel, but will also weigh less. EXT springs have been developed for prolonged use, thanks to improved mechanical characteristics and material derived directly from motorsport. We offer a 25lb rate increase to fine-tune your bike.
EXT Superlight V2 springs do not require any preload (maximum preload 2mm), allowing you to get the best coil damping feel. The use of springs with K greater than 600 requires dedicated spring hardware/adapter, ask your local EXT dealer for more information.
Features:
The characteristic of a higher percentage of vanadium results in a stress very high dynamics possible.
Long service life (automotive standard of over 500,000 cycles)
Weight reduction compared to the same spring made from "normal" spring steel (up to 30% reduction, depending of the characteristics of the spring).
