- The day has finally come where I go full coil! Coil fork, coil shock, all the plushness. Learn with me as I replace my air shock for a coil and then complete some initial testing. Tell me your thoughts and where to ride next in the comments below!

If you stuck it out until the end, you heard there's something new in the works... any guesses??
Yeah
you should fip the pin back in progressif position ...
I'm curious as of why you thought the linear flip chip was good for the coil, I would think that you want to add progressivity to a shock that's linear.
Valid question. Should have mentioned this in the video but forgot to - tried my 400lb spring in progressive mode before we started filming and it was too stiff… I don’t have a lighter spring, so I flipped it to try and dial it in with the 400 lb spring - which then ended up being too soft. Leaving me without a spring that worked perfectly in either position. However, I would agree that keeping it in progressive mode is likely the move with a linear coil
Exactly my thoughts when I saw him doing that.
Nice one ! I also have a Clash so this was really interesting. Bike looks great with the coil also 🤟
Thanks Scotty - happy riding 🤘🏼
Bad ass setup!
🔥🔥
Very nice. That will be fun once you get the correct spring paired with the progressive kinematics. So tempted to convert my bomber z1 to coil
I’ll say that I certainly enjoy coil in the rear; however I found myself unhappy with the lack of adjustability with coil forks. I have a Z1 coil and started wishing for an air so that I could control the stroke better (with more precise air pressure adjustments or even volume spacers).
Sick video, do u know what diameter of Seatclamp that is on the commencal clash because I’m looking at getting a deity one, thanks
Thanks! 38.5mm clamp, 34.9mm dropper post
I just custom built a 2021 clash and have a z1 coil and bomber cr, I just mounted the same CaneCreek progessive spring 450-550, did you need adapters for the spring?? I just put it on and it seems good but not sure if I need the CaneCreek adapters
Very nice! I have not used any adapters. I’ve been running this shock/spring combo on my ebike for a long time without issue.
@@GlobalTrailGuide Thanks for the reply and the videos!
Did you use adapters to fit the progressive spring to the Bomber CR ?
No adapters required
@@GlobalTrailGuide You need adaptors from 36 to 35 mm diameter.
Hi mate, where do you take the video ?
Is it in bali indonesia??
Hey there! This is in Northern Italy, but if Bali looks similar, then it sounds like a great place to ride!
How many clicks of preload do you run on the Z1 Coil fork?
Depends on rider weight and Spring . I Have a Z1 Coil 170 on my CF Warden . No comparison to the Air Thing
are you able to put a dh fork on the clash'
I’ve seen photos of clash’s with dual crowns, though I’m not familiar with the setup or if Commencal says it was designed to handle a dual crown. With the capabilities of Zebs and 38s, I’m not certain it’s worth it.
Why go linear with the coil?

Hey there,
first of all: Nice Video and Bike :)
I'm want to upgrade my Bike with an Marzocchi CR. And want to use the CaneCreek Valt Spring, just like you did in your video. You didn't use any adapters right? it works fine?
Hey Daniel, thank you! That’s correct, no adapters! Super easy to install. I’m for reference I’m 70 kg and the 450-550 lb spring didn’t seem to work perfectly in either kinematic position. As always with springs, your results may vary based on weight and riding style - but coils are still awesome 😎
@@GlobalTrailGuide okay I'm around 76kg so the 450lbs Spring could be suitable.
What is your feeling with the Marzocchi CR? is it just a labeled Fox Van RC or is it worth the money?
@@danielkuberger9328 certainly sounds like the 450 might be the sweet spot for you (depending on riding style too). No complaints from me on the CR, but also the first and only coil shock I've used - so I feel I can't give a proper conclusion. All I can say is that when I've gotten the spring right, it's super dialed.
Hey man you still in Italy then? If your heading anywhere near me this summer give me a shout and we can catch up for a ride.. Luke from the Kronplatz 🤙
Hey hey! Yup, I’m around! Our time is dwindling, but I’ll let you know if I’m in the area - haven’t been back up there since the race there a couple years ago!
I ride a Meta AM mrp hazard/Fox 36 vorsprung. The coil setup is certainly heavier but I prefer it.
Double coil makes for such a smooth ride!
Get a TI Spring
What's this country where workbenchtool-trees are allegedly growing?
Only the finest of cycling trees in Italy 😂 hey, if you’re going to do maintenance, might as well do it somewhere scenic / serene
Price,???
The bike is Currently 4400 USD. Fork is $780 and shock is probably around $400
why more linear??????

Btw the position you put the flip chip reduces the travel to 155mm
You Can get TI Fork Springs In ANY Weight you Want you j ust need to know what your needs are ...... I Have a TI Spring For My 380 TI Fork and Its Way way Lighter than a Steel Fox Spring . I just got a 450 TI Spring For My TTX Super Light Not even an Issue was 160$ Shipped . Both my Bikes are Fully Coiled . Id Never install an Air Shock/ Fork ever again ..... waste of Time 😎
Bruh... you need to worry about a dropper before coil swapping.
You mean the fully functioning 170mm dropper installed in the bike? 🧐
