Air vs Coil: Which Suspension Is Right for You? | Podcast
Whether you’re considering a suspension upgrade, struggling to get your bike feeling right, or just want to understand your setup better, this episode will help you make a more informed decision.
In this episode of Suspension Sessions, the crew from RBC (Robbie’s Bicycle Concept) break down the real-world differences between air-sprung and coil-sprung suspension. No marketing hype, no internet myths — just practical insight from the workshop and the trail. They cover how each system works, how they feel on the bike, and what really matters when it comes to setup, servicing, adjustability, weight, and long-term ownership. More importantly, they talk to who benefits from each option and why the “best” choice depends far more on the rider than the component. When suspension is set up correctly — air or coil — it changes everything. Listen here on Spotify or through YouTube. //
