DescriptionThe whole story▼

Cylinder tube 46/160 Al, Öhlins part number 04211-11. Corrosion inside a tube is terminal: it cannot be honed out without changing the clearance.

Key Features

  • Original Öhlins service part
  • Diameter 46 mm
  • Öhlins part number 04211-11
  • Length 160 mm

Function

46 mm, 160 mm: that is the whole specification, and it has to match what came out. The tube also carries the end cap threads, so thread damage means a new tube. Length here is the working length, not the overall dimension, which is why two similar tubes are not interchangeable. Twin-tube dampers carry two concentric tubes and list them separately.

Genuine Service Part

Öhlins supports units that are decades old, which is why the spare parts list runs to thousands of numbers. A damper that can be rebuilt is a damper that stays on the bike; that is the whole argument for original service parts. The exploded drawing for your unit names the number; if you do not have it, we do. Order by part number. The dimensions below are the ones Öhlins publishes for it.

How to Be Sure It Fits

Order under 04211-11. Where several sizes share a description, only the number separates them. Öhlins states diameter 46 mm, length 160 mm for this number, and those figures are the deciding ones. A tube that has been bottomed hard often shows a ring mark; that is a reason to replace it. The cylinder tube is the working bore: the piston runs inside it and every damping force is reacted by its wall.

Fitting and Setup Service

Ask us about a full service: as an authorised Öhlins centre we strip, inspect, replace what is worn and set the unit back to its specification.
