rear spring - midden - 04-07-14
Can anyone explain why the 600 comes with a rear spring rated at 839 pounds/inch and the thou only has a 420.26 lb/inch rating, yet both bikes state similar maximum load figures?

And the thou shock has an adjustable external gas reservoir which affects compression rate allowing for a softer spring!
