[Petru Bisoi]

Hi! So i have a Giant Reign Sx1 2019 with full DVO Jade shock with a 2.5x300lb spring, and my weight is 200lbs(92 kg).Can you tell me what spring should i buy for my weight, because on the big drops i always ended up with maximum stroke.

On my Reign SX I ran a 500lb spring on the Fox DHX shock and I am only 170lb. I went back down to a 450lb spring once I added a high speed compression adjustment.

You will likely need a 500lb or higher spring, but I would start by calling up DVO first and asking them. DVO will recommend a spring based on your bike and your weight.

Can you explain me what means 2.5 or 3.0 at springs? Its the size? If i already have on the bike 2.5, i have to buy the same?

Call them. Bike companies are generally horrible responding to emails.

Its the spring travel in inches, so needs to match your shock travel. ie 2.5" = 63mm. You could fit a 3" spring for example assuming it wasnt too long, but dont fit a less travel spring as it could bind before the shock reached the end of its stroke.
