Our Carbon Composite Bellows™ Spring (CCBS) works as a system to offer unparalleled control of your spring set-up.
Weight
Take weight out of your current suspension! The CCBS system can save
you up to 70% of the weight of a steel spring while improving the
dynamic response of your dampers with its reduced mass.
Suspension Friction
A CCBS stack stores energy by bending. This bending action replaces
the friction-generating tilt of a coil spring. This critical change
saves your damper shaft from a coil spring's unavoidable side load and
reduces overall friction, enabling your suspension to do what it was
designed to do - move.
We used a hydraulic perch, that shifts under the tilting force of a coil spring, so you can see the difference for yourself.
Tunable Rate
The CCBS system gives you the flexibility to dial in your spring rate
in any increment. The great thing about building a single spring from
many small elements is the ability to alter just one element and affect a
very small change on the assembly. Or, swap out many components and see
a large change. In this way, a CCBS stack can be tuned in very small or
large increments. This tune-ability of rate, along with free length and
displacement offers unprecedented flexibility in making spring rate
decisions.
Cost Advantage vs. Titanium
Titanium springs often cost as much as $800 per rate! Utilizing an
inventory of CCBS elements from which to build your required stack and
rates, the Hyperco Carbon Composite Bellows™ Spring system can cost as
low as $150 per rate!
