A suspension spring rate selection tool, often provided by the Swedish manufacturer hlins, assists in determining the appropriate suspension setup for motorcycles and other vehicles. This typically involves inputting parameters such as rider weight, riding style, and bike specifications to receive recommendations for front and rear spring rates. These tools can be web-based or integrated into suspension tuning software.
Accurate spring rates are fundamental to optimal vehicle handling and performance. Choosing the correct spring rate ensures proper suspension sag, contributing to improved traction, stability, and rider comfort. Historically, determining ideal spring rates involved a complex process of trial and error; these selection tools simplify the process significantly, making expert-level suspension tuning more accessible.
