Suspension setup in MX bikes is like hairdressing styles - changes every week.
Wonder what next weeks flavor will be ?
And somehow I can't see too many folks fitting $2000 sets of Ti fork springs into their Commandos. But I could be wrong, there are lots of [ Deleted before LAB got to it ].
P.S. This was flavor-of-the-month some years back, more for road use though.
Springless, air does all the work.
Picked it up for a song...

Progressive rate springs will give a less jarring ride , if properly selected.
Like my Triton . 8)
If I were you blokes , Id forget all about it , and go Hi Tech , with HANDLEBAR STREAMERS , instead . :shock: :roll:

If only I could get some progressively wound handlebar streamers. The ultimate.

Is there an echo in this forum ??

So are the F1 people. Who developed it ?
But Commandos ????
Carbonfibre said:I seem to remember a post from someone suggesting progressive springs were all the rage on MX bikes? Could this person have perhaps been mistaken........................lol

Carbonfibre said:Ti springs have been in common use for a very long time, and are now fitted to several production machines. If there had been any possible issues related to safety, they would certainly never have been used in F1, MX, MotoGp, and even less likely on over the counter production bikes!

Ti springs obviously mean reduced weight, but they also provide higher levels of performance in extreme conditions encountered during serious competition, with the only downside being the high cost over steel springs.
