The Vorsprung Smashpot V1 is a high-performance coil spring conversion system designed to replace your DVO fork’s existing air spring assembly. Known for its exceptional small-bump sensitivity, consistent traction, and unmatched control, the Smashpot V1 delivers a dramatically smoother ride over challenging terrain. This listing is for the cartridge unit only — spring and top cap are not included. Smashpot kits including the cartridge, spring, and top cap are available as complete bundles. Springs and top caps are also sold separately if you’re upgrading or transferring between forks.

While now superseded by the updated Smashpot V2, this original version remains available while stock lasts for riders seeking a proven, reliable coil conversion system.

Features:

• Mechanical coil conversion system
• Hydraulic bottom-out control (internal)
• Travel range supported: 130–180mm (depending on fork compatibility)
• 11 spring rate options covering rider weights from 45kg to 125kg
• Low-friction design for smooth, consistent performance
• Simple internal travel adjustment via spacers
• Requires model and brand-specific top cap and compatible coil spring

Why Coil?

Coil springs deliver consistent support without the friction or variability of air systems. This translates to better grip, more predictable mid-stroke response, and smoother performance on rough or technical terrain. With fewer serviceable parts and increased oil volume, maintenance is minimal and reliability is high.
