300 Fork Spring Rate Chart

[InvisiBill]

Here's a chart of ideal weights for different spring rates from RaceTech's calculator. This is just a quick reference so you can get an idea of what spring rate you should be looking for. Don't take RT's numbers as gospel, and different people may prefer slightly softer or stiffer springs, but this will give you a rough idea of the rate to match your weight.

RATE (kg/mm)	STREET (lb)	RACE (lb)
0.44 (PreGen)	<30        	<30
0.585 (EX500)	53         	34
0.60        	63         	44
0.65 (300)   	96         	76
0.70        	129        	107
0.75        	163        	139
0.80        	196        	171
0.85        	229        	203
0.90        	263        	234
0.95        	296        	266
1.00        	329        	298

(Note that the 300 and NewGen share front ends, so these numbers are the same as the NewGen's.)
