Eibach is a leader in performance car and off-road suspension, especially popular for track and desert racers. Soon, they want to bring that same performance to mountain bikers.
The new range of coil springs will be made in the USA, just like their automotive springs. But they’ll be sold as a kit with custom spring seats from German suspension performance brand Lorey.
For the springs, Eibach has two benchmarks: be the lightest in class, and offer the best tuning range. For weight, it’s a matter of using their decades of experience turning steel wire into springs. And they admit, it’s a goal, but that getting the performance right matters more than being the absolute lightest-weight coils on the market. Regardless, expect them to be among the lightest.
For tuning, they’re aiming for 20lb increments. Meaning, they’ll offer spring rates of 200lb/in, 220lb/in, 240lb/in, etc., up to 500lb/in or more to meet market demand.
Compare that to the standard 50lb increments from stock options by RockShox, Fox, and Cane Creek. Even current high-end aftermarket springs typically come in 25lb increments. Dropping that to 20lb increments gives you much finer tunability. A range of lengths will be available to fit popular shock stroke lengths, too.
For the perches, Lorey’s precision-machined spring seats thread onto popular shock bodies from Fox, Rockshox, etc. In this case, they’re custom-mated to Eibach’s springs for an exact fit, cradling the coil and keeping it rock solid top and bottom.
Beyond this info, details are sparse. There’s no set pricing or release date, but their reps told me they’re very close to production. Look for them (hopefully) in early 2027.
