Honestly what a crock of shit. Registration went live on the 25th of Feb and Washington state went into lock down in march 23rd. They really blow half of their trail crew budget in one month when everything is buried in snow? For anyone wondering you and 3 other friends can finance a month long trip through Canada living like kings for one entry fee.

Right, meant to say lighter not tighter (edited). If so, then okay, I'd accept that, and it's done in lower end automotive applications. But binding coils is generally a shitty practice for high-end suspension, and seems to be dramatically at odds with what they are claiming are their quality standards. My shenanigans sense is tingling.

Only way it could be dual rate is if the lighter spring length totally compresses prior to the heavier spring section. You get Keq for the first part of the travel, then K1 for the remaining travel after the light spring K2 fully closes.

Okay, so are they binding the lighter coils during travel? I don't see any crossover ring, so that is the only way this produces a dual rate. Otherwise, as we all learned in physics, 1/keq = 1/k1 + 1/k2. Putting two different rates on a single coil does not magically make a dual rate spring, no matter how much marketing claims it does. I'm sure this is a nice spring, it looks like a nice spring, and it sounds like they went through a lot of trouble to make sure it was manufactured as a nice spring. I just don't...
