Press Release: Vorsprung Suspension
Vorsprung has unveiled the Smashpot V2 Coil Conversion System, building upon the success of the original Smashpot. The V2 comes with significant improvements that take suspension performance to the next level. Riders looking for enhanced smoothness and control will appreciate these updates, making this coil conversion system a game-changer for long-travel forks.
What is Smashpot V2?
The Smashpot V2 is a coil conversion kit designed to replace your air spring, eliminating friction, stiffness, and maintenance issues commonly associated with air suspension. The result? Superior bump absorption, better bushing lubrication, and more consistent performance over time.
It’s a gravity-oriented solution ideal for riders seeking the smooth, predictable feel of full-coil suspension, and pairs excellently with Vorsprung’s Telum rear shock for a complete upgrade.
Key Improvements in Smashpot V2
- Extended Travel Range: Now offering 140-200mm travel (previously 130-180mm), adjustable via internal spacers.
- Larger Top-Out Spring: Eliminates top-out noise for riders who prefer faster rebound settings.
- Dual Crown Compatibility: Coming soon, dual crown support will allow downhill riders to enjoy Smashpot’s unparalleled smoothness.
- Enhanced Hydraulic Bottom-Out Adjustment: Wider adjustment range for better impact control, making the softer end of the range even more forgiving.
- Lower Profile Adjuster: New design reduces the adjuster’s protrusion, and it’s now turned with a small allen key.
- Progressive Spring Rates (180mm+): For longer travel forks, progressive springs ensure a smoother initial stroke and firmer mid/end travel, providing better support without compromising small bump compliance.
- Lighter Oil: Uses 5wt bath oil for better cold-weather performance, a wider adjustment range, and increased seal life.
Compatibility
The Smashpot V2 is compatible with a range of forks from brands like RockShox, Fox, Ohlins, DVO, EXT, and Manitou, making it a versatile solution for riders seeking superior suspension performance.
