Description
Presenting the Smashpot - a fork coil spring conversion system for single crown enduro forks, featuring externally adjustable hydraulic anti-bottoming technology to deliver precisely the amount of bottoming resistance you need.

• Allows lighter riders to get the most use out of their forks, and heavier riders the support they need without excessive air pressures

• Only coil conversion system on the market allowing 180mm travel

• Easily adjust your travel with internal spacers (please note the minimum & maximum travel of your fork as determined by the manufacturer)

• Unique Hydraulic Bottom-out System reduces harshness

• Can be transferred between different forks with minimal parts /cost (purchase of a new top cap or foot stud)

• Reliable and low maintenance, set and forget. User-installable and serviceable

•Weight increase of approximately 250-450g (dependent on spring rate and fork's existing spring system)

Installation
WARNING: VORSPRUNG products should be installed and serviced by a trained bicycle service technician, in accordance with both VORSPRUNG and original manufacturers' specifications. If you have any doubt whether or not you can properly service your suspension product, or you have not performed this kind of work before, then please DO NOT attempt it. Improperly serviced products can fail, causing the rider to lose control resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. That's not a joke. Don't mess around with it if you don't know what you're doing, because the best case scenario is usually that you damage something in the process. Do not perform any kind of service on your suspension whilst drunk, high or stupid. We accept no responsibility nor liability for component damage or failure of any description in the case of self-installed units.

FAQ's
FAQ'S
 How much weight does it add?
It's heavier than your air spring by between 250-450g, depending on spring rate (firmer springs are generally heavier) and the fork's original spring system (TALAS/DPA are typically heavier than Float/Solo Air). If the weight bothers you, you may be more interested in a Luftkappe.
Can I convert my fork back to air afterwards? Going back to air, should you wish to, may not be an option - spring rub may score the inside of your stanchion, so the air piston may not seal again. The spring is both isolated and guided to minimise stanchion knock and rub, however, there are no guarantees an air spring will seal again after riding with a spring installed. We'd be pretty surprised if anyone actually wanted to do this after riding the Smashpot though.
Does it void the fork's warranty? As with any aftermarket modifications, it should be expected to void the fork manufacturer's warranty.
Do I need any extra parts to change the travel? All spacers required are included with the kit. The only thing you may want is more heat shrink for the cartridge tube, as it's installed after travel is set internally
Typical fork maximum permissible travels: Rockshox:
Lyrik/Yari 27.5"/29" - 180mm
Pike/Revelation 27.5/29" - 160mm

Fox:
36 Float/Talas 27.5" - 180mm OR 160mm - call Fox with your serial number to check max travel prior to setting Smashpot to more than 160mm travel.

36 Float/Talas 29" - 170mm OR 160mm - call Fox with your serial number to check max travel prior to setting Smashpot to more than 160mm travel.
