I'm looking at upgrading front forks to progressive springs and saw this ad on ebay

I just had a thought, are progressive springs suitable for offroad riding?

Hey Skt,

Check these guys out on evil bay, (www_zietech_de) they have the Wirth springs and are great to deal with.

Now some people like progressive springs offroad and some prefer a heavy normal wind.
Progressive springs work fine in the XT forks which have no other adjustments.
I like progressive springs from Wirth, they are a heavy wire unlike alot of others.

Hey mate do these springs make the front end higher?

Update on these progressive springs...I tried them this weekend at test track and so much better under heavy braking, ride height is a little better but don't have long front spring travel as super motards...so overall yes get them

Short answer, yes :laughing9:.

The standard springs are way soft so most aftermarket springs will/should lift the front end a little.
But different springs/brands will/should vary in the ride height area a little.

The springs I fitted have made a big difference but one has to rember that most springs will take about 1000km to settle in.

The best mod you can make to a bike is good suspension.
