Soften the bike for chatter sections when suspension was not capable - stories like that abound.

To the Point - Renton Coil Springs
Plus, half of the spring's mass is unsprung weight - acting against the response time of the suspension.

To the Point - Renton Coil Springs
Half a million USD for the machine - Wasted titanium dialing in the spring diameters and coil spacing - Finish grinder machine - Heat treat and final inspection - full-time employees to make it all happen - the price adds up quickly. They make special springs for haters - Chrome silicon alloy.

Rocky Mountain Altitude 790 MSL - Tested
The value of Canadian and USA money is falling against Asian currency, and production costs in Asia have increased significantly. Two years ago, Asia warned that costs would increase 30 percent, which they have. A $1500 bike ten years ago is a $2500 bike now. What you ask is possible, but it would require a different business model - almost all components would be non branded OEM, there would be only one model offered in each major category, and the bikes would not change beyond graphics for a three-year period. This is the model for motocross motorcycles - which has proven quite successful. Cycling is very brand -specific, however, and that ensures high prices for the foreseeable future.
