A rear spring matched to rider and load keeps the chassis attitude where the factory intended it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e148 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 00696-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 290 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 52 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eManufacture and Tolerance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eService parts stay available for years after a part number leaves the current price list. Production has stayed in Sweden since the company was founded in 1976. Öhlins manufactures in Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm, and assembles and tests every unit there before it ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins holds the free length at 290 mm and the inner diameter at 57 mm across this rate range, so moving up or down a rate changes nothing about the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing 52 N\/mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the middle of Öhlins' range — the rate most riders of average weight end up on once sag is set properly. If you are unsure and close to average weight in full kit, this is the sensible starting point. Rates here suit a solo rider of typical weight on a road-going machine. Road surfaces are the hardest test of a spring rate, because the fork has to cope with both a smooth stretch and a broken one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Rear Spring Decides\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProgressive springs change rate through the stroke, which suits machines with little travel and a lot of load. Rear spring rate sets ride height and static sag, and those two decide the chassis attitude before any damping click matters. Preload adjusts sag within a rate; it does not change the rate, and no amount of it will rescue a spring that is wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRate is the variable that depends on the rider, not on the machine. Two people on the same bike may well want two different numbers. Where Öhlins lists this size against a particular unit, the listing is a starting point rather than a boundary. Öhlins offers rates in defined steps so a change can be made in one direction at a time rather than by guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSprings are supplied ready to fit; no cutting, grinding or packing is needed. If the fork has not been serviced recently, bushes and seals are worth replacing while it is apart. Öhlins supplies a setting sheet with the springs; the numbers on it assume the specified oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: none is issued for springs as such — they replace an existing component of the same function. Any model-specific approval is listed under Applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are an authorised Öhlins service centre, so the installation does not have to be your problem: we fit and set up Öhlins components in our own workshop.
