Convert suspension forks to coil: Upgrade Fox and Rockshox with the PUSH ACS 3 Coil Kit

Air suspension forks have evolved significantly in recent years, offering excellent performance for most mountain bikers. They are lightweight, adaptable, and provide a wide range of adjustment options. However, for those who want to get the most out of their bike and regularly ride demanding trails or in bike parks, converting to a coil suspension fork might be just the right thing. This is where the PUSH ACS 3 Coil Kit comes in, specifically designed for Fox and RockShox suspension forks.

Why a Coil Conversion? The Advantages in Detail

While air suspension forks are the best choice in many situations, a coil suspension fork offers specific advantages that come into play particularly under intensive loads and on rough terrain.

• Consistent Spring Curve: One of the greatest strengths of a coil suspension fork is its consistent spring curve. While air springs tend to become more progressive under high pressure, the spring force remains constant with a coil spring. This ensures a more predictable and consistent riding experience, especially on technically demanding trails with many roots, rocks, and braking bumps.

• Increased Traction and Control: Due to the uniform force distribution of the coil spring, the front wheel stays better planted on the ground, significantly increasing traction and control on difficult surfaces. This is particularly advantageous in corners and at high speeds, where a stable front wheel is crucial.

• Comfort and Fatigue: Another advantage of the coil system is increased comfort. The softer and more consistent suspension effectively absorbs shocks and vibrations, protecting hands and forearms even after long days in the bike park. We experienced this ourselves during extensive tests in the Palatinate Forest, in Serfaus, and in Brandnertal – even after several days of intensive riding, our hands still felt fresh and free of fatigue.

PUSH ACS 3 Coil Kit: The Upgrade for Your Fox or RockShox Fork

The PUSH ACS 3 Coil Kit is a high-end conversion kit specifically developed for riders who want to get the maximum performance out of their Fox or RockShox suspension fork. It combines the advantages of a coil spring with an adjustable air bottom-out, giving you the ability to fine-tune the suspension's progression to your liking.

• Adjustable Bottom-Out: The special feature of the PUSH ACS 3 Coil Kit is the adjustable air bottom-out, which becomes active at approximately 70% of the travel. By increasing the air pressure in the bottom-out, you can increase the end-progression, effectively preventing bottom-outs. This is particularly useful on very demanding trails or in the bike park, where high forces act on the suspension fork.

• Individual Tuning: The kit offers various spring rates, allowing you to perfectly tune the suspension to your weight and riding style. This ensures not only optimal performance but also a personalized riding experience.
