Optional Springs for Dorado Comp

The Dorado Comp comes stock with the Medium Coil Spring (blue), it is far too soft for most Sur Ron riders and you’ll need to purchase a stiffer set of springs. Use the tuning chart below to determine the correct spring rating for your body weight, bike, and riding style.  If you are a fast aggressive rider you might want to go up one size in springs.

Installation Instructions:

Out of the box this fork will not fit the Sur Ron steer tube with the 1″ tall roller bearing adapter that comes on the OEM Sur Ron.  You must swap your upper headset to a Cane Creek 40 ZS44/28.6 or similar zero stack headset (NOT INCLUDED) which reduces the steer tube length by approximately 1/2″.  It his highly recommended you take this to your local bike shop for proper installation!!  Most of the bikes that come into our shop with aftermarket forks were not installed correctly and by installing this yourself you might cause permanent damage to the fork, your bearings, headset, Sur Ron frame, or even your body!  This is not something you want to risk by DIY if you are not an experienced bike builder.  DO NOT CHANGE YOUR LOWER HEADSET BEARING, YOU WANT THE STRENGTH OF THE OEM Surron LOWER BEARING.
