Too stiff and the front loses feel over bumps; too soft and it dives under the brakes. Rate sets that balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 25.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 260 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 08790-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e151 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 9.0 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eManufacture and Tolerance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Öhlins dealer can re-valve the unit, because the shim stack is a documented, serviceable assembly. The wire is progressively wound where the application calls for it and straight where it does not. Rates are offered in defined steps, so a change can be made in one direction at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and Rate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 25.5 mm bore and 260 mm length are the two figures that decide whether it physically fits; 9.0 N\/mm decides whether it suits the rider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Rate Belongs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRates here suit a solo rider of typical weight on a road-going machine. This is the middle of Öhlins' range — the rate most riders of average weight end up on once sag is set properly. A mid rate balances support under braking against compliance over the surface, which is why it is the usual starting point. A road machine spends most of its life in the first third of the fork's travel — that is the part the rate governs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsk us with the machine and rider weight and we will tell you which rate in this size to take. Öhlins offers rates in defined steps so a change can be made in one direction at a time rather than by guesswork. Selection is by measurement. If the diameter and free length match your fork, the remaining question is the rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe springs come powder-coated and need no preparation before they go in. If the fork has not been serviced recently, bushes and seals are worth replacing while it is apart. Check the free length against the old springs before fitting — a sagged original often measures short.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: not applicable to the spring on its own. Öhlins issues approvals against complete suspension units, not individual springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins recommends that its suspension is fitted by an authorised service centre.
