VeeTires have always had a very plastic-y look to them.

With today’s air-spring dampers nearly matching the performance of coil shocks, why would one sacrifice almost a pound for the coil? The linear rate of a coil spring keeps the bike riding higher in its travel on aggressive descents, providing a very supportive mid-stroke during g-outs, drops and berms. Additionally, a coil shock is an easier platform for tuning, whereas the progressive rate of an air spring often complicates adjustments. After finding a dialed tune, the CCDB CS was fade-free, allowing the bike to track straighter and more confidently into rough trail, and it felt like the bike was only using the necessary amount of travel for each impact.

Exactly why I wants a coil.

Exactly why I wants a coil. 

Yeah me too. Need to test fit one on mine. But it can only be a db inline from my research. Also its an extremely tight fit, so worried about clearance. Would have bought one, but not sure on the clearance issue

Looks light, though article has no weight yet.

My Fox Float X2 is still sitting in the cupboard as after putting the CCDB CS on while waiting for the X2 to come back from Air Can recall I don't see any reason to refit it. Yes it's slightly lighter but the coil feel is night and day compared to the air, and I reckon it's definitely the better option for heavier riders as couldn't get the X2 to feel as plush but supportive as the coil.

 

Jumps, berms, drops, rocks gardens and rough chop (Amazing on the the rough stuff, relax your arms, drop heals and let it roll as the trail chatter disappears) and I never touch a setting between it all - Just works so worth taking time to set it up right for your particular type of riding. And the climb switch is the business - You can stand and really power down on the short burst climbs, without CS engaged it normally slips but once engaged it almost feels like it sucks to the trail as you power down on the crank.

 

Total coil convert!

Well what is the weight penalty for going to coil?  About 500g? It's quite a bit if so.  But I suppose it's at a decent spot on the bike, but again, where do you draw the line?

 

I see guys on here with beautiful carbon bikes, developed to give you the best DH capacity possible for sub 13kg.  And then they go an slowly add and add and add in the name of "performance".  Well, sure, but your bike now weighs 16kg, climbs like shite and is still nowhere near a DH bike.

 

Why not just pour lead down your seat tube and be done with it?

FML. Another reason to wait for the CCDB Coil.

Because the additions are functional, and we don't really care about weight? If my bike works how I want it to, and it weighs 16kg, surely that's better than if my bike is 13kg but there are compromises everywhere.

I think it's important to look into your bike's leverage curve before going coil. Coil is linear and suits bikes well that have leverage curves that are by design progressive, i.e. YTs. My Swoop has an almost linear leverage ratio. Slapping a coil on would mean hella lot of bottom outs.
