rear spring

[midden]

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?

erm? fulcrum point?

erm? fulcrum point?

Excellent answer.

Whilst I am certain some may feel this an absolutel stupid question, not as intellectually challenging as Rocket science thus a complete waste of their valuable time:
Would it be possible for someone a little lower down the IQ chain to explain possibly 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?

different geometry and dog bones etc give different requirements.

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