Hi all just considering a EXT E Shock for my Kenevo . They come with 2 springs and im not sure exactly what spring i should be using ? Im 86KG all up .
The shock In Australia Costs $2k AUD . Id like to think at least 1 of the springs will work. Im told by the supplier that a 500 - 525lb spring should be close?
Can anybody out there share some advice? The cost is scary and so it would be nice to get it right .
Thanks

The shock comes from EXT with two springs, it’s not like they discount it if you only take one. My suggestion is to just pick two.
EXT has a good spring calculator, try it out. I put an e-Storia on my bike and love it.

i would suggest the one it recommends and the next size up I guess. Maybe if you start jumping bigger you’ll want a little heavier spring?

After lots of inquires re a coil shock for my Expert Kenevo it seems Push dont do them and either does Fox DHX2 Coil.
EXT are 1 company and so is Ohlins that do them for this particular bike and for my weight of 86kg all up the recomeneded spring rate is 500 525 450 on the EXT depending on the sag you use.
Thanks for the help guys .

Ohlins recommend a 548lb spring for an 86kg rider on a kenevo.
