Rally Raid Rear Spring Advice

Another RR Rear Spring Question!

 

I weigh 75kg

Riding gear is 12.2kg

Camping gear is 29kg (camping, food, water, bags, etc.)

Crash bars, skid plate, rear rack are 13kg

 

With those measurements do you recommend the 85N or 90N spring?

 

90% of the time will be riding fully loaded.

 

Thank you!

I think you are right on with the 90N/mm at 129.2kg

Try this out for front and rear spring rates:

My total is 120 kg and I went with the 90.  When I checked sag it was within a couple % of ideal.

No problem, I found the calculator 6 or so months ago on Big Rock Motos channel, he has a few videos on his channel about the T7s including a suspension video.
