Should I consider a Corset if I already have an Evol sleeve?

Fox's Evol sleeve is visually similar to our Corset air can, and based on the same concept. However, the Corset is still a big improvement over the Evol. Here's what the differences measure up as.Corset vs Evol Dyno Spring Rates

 

It's immediately visible there that while the Evol is an improvement over the old style Fox sleeves, the Corset's initial spring rate is way lower than that of the Evol. How much though? Quite a lot - roughly half, even with enough pressure in there to have a considerably firmer mid and end stroke.

 

For the substantial majority of leverage rates, including but certainly not limited to VPP, the Corset offers a marked improvement in performance over the Evol sleeves. There are a few bikes out there though that should stick with the Evol or old style cans, such as the Norco Range - these are extremely progressive and require too much sag with the Corset. The lower sag & lower progressivity of the Evol sleeve works better on these, and the old style cans work well too, though ideally a coil shock is best suited to very progressive frames. The same applies to other bikes that are extremely progressive - in these cases you can expect better results with a coil shock than any air shock.

If you're not sure whether or not a Corset is suitable for your bike, shoot us an email and we'll discuss what options will work best for you.

    Hi Steve. Thank you very much for sharing this air-spring graphs with us, it is not easy to find this data among bicycle suspension manufacturers. Have you built your own measuring device? At what speeds did you test these shocks? Your graphs are pretty usefull for my front suspension project, that’s why I want to express my gratitude to you/your team for publishing this data.
    I digitized your graphs back into raw data in .CSV using https://apps.automeris.io/wpd/ in order to use them as definition for custom shock absorber in Linkage software. Many thanks ;-).

    To whom it may concern. I’m Fabrizio and I’m working at the center for Aerospace Research (CfAR) in collaboration with University of Victoria. I’m writing to you to ask if you have some test rig to obtain the stiffness (K) and damping © coefficients from dampers. We would like to have those data cause we are using a shock absorber for bike applications in the suspension system of a landing gear for a small aircraft. If you can do this job for us it would be fantastic!

    hi there, i own a Scott Spark RC WC with fox NUDE Twinlock with the NUDE system. is mostly used for XC marathon and stage races, do you think i could get some help form the corset (comfort wise)
