Don't know who said that but that's utter ********. The spring is directly dependant on the load transfer under acceleration and the amount of static weight on the rear wheel. The only difference horsepower makes is the amount of load transferred to the rear. If the bike wheelies, for instance, the entire bike/rider weights is transferred to rear wheel.
