The Vorsprung Smashpot V2 is a high-performance coil spring conversion system designed to replace your Öhlins fork’s existing air spring assembly. Known for delivering exceptional grip, control, and small-bump sensitivity, the Smashpot transforms your fork’s feel — offering a smoother, more consistent ride across all types of terrain. This listing is for the complete Smashpot kit, including the cartridge, an Öhlins-specific top cap, and a coil spring matched to your weight.

Now compatible with a wide range of single and dual crown forks, including long-travel and downhill-specific models, the V2 version introduces several upgrades over the original — including a slimmer, externally adjustable hydraulic bottom-out control, broader travel support (140–200mm), and refined internals for reduced noise and improved performance.

Features:

• Converts your fork to a fully mechanical coil system

• Adjustable hydraulic bottom-out (HBO) control – external, tool-free dial

• Travel range supported: 140–200mm (depending on fork compatibility)

• Updated top-out spring for quiet rebound on full extension

• Dual-rate progressive spring compatibility for 180–200mm setups

• Ultra-low friction design – significantly smoother than air springs

• Supports rider weights from 45kg to 125kg with 11 spring rate options

• Internal travel adjustment via spacers – quick and easy setup

• Compatible with multiple fork models using optional top caps

• Simple, reliable, and low-maintenance

Why Coil?

Unlike air springs, coil systems offer consistent performance without relying on seals or high-pressure internals. The result is improved traction, more predictable mid-stroke behaviour, and better sensitivity across small bumps and chatter. Increased oil volume also contributes to improved lubrication and long-term durability.

Hydraulic Bottom-Out Control:

The externally adjustable HBO system manages damping over the final 40mm of travel, giving you smooth deceleration and preventing harsh bottom-outs. Easily tuned to suit your riding style and terrain, it adds an extra layer of customisation and control.
