Rear spring rate sets ride height, static sag and how much of the damper's stroke is actually usable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 44 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e130 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 00698-06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 230 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Öhlins Makes Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit is rebuildable: seals, shims and oil are catalogue items, not a reason to buy a new one. Seals are specified for temperature stability rather than for the lowest unit cost. Production has stayed in Sweden since the company was founded in 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins holds the free length at 230 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\u003eWhat This Rate Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mid rate balances support under braking against compliance over the surface, which is why it is the usual starting point. This is the middle of Öhlins' range — the rate most riders of average weight end up on once sag is set properly. From here it is easy to move one step in either direction once you have ridden it. 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\u003eHow a Rear Spring Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStatic sag at the rear sets the whole chassis attitude — get it wrong and the front geometry goes with it. Rear spring rate sets ride height and static sag, and those two decide the chassis attitude before any damping click matters. The rear spring carries the rider, the pillion and the luggage; the front carries only part of it.\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. Rather than a model list, use the measurements: a fork that accepts this diameter and length is a candidate, and the rate follows from rider weight. Öhlins lists no fixed model here — the spring is defined by its measurements, and any fork with matching dimensions can take it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSprings are supplied ready to fit; no cutting, grinding or packing is needed. Spring preload spacers may need adjusting to keep the installed length correct. If the fork has not been serviced recently, bushes and seals are worth replacing while it is apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: springs are not separately type-approved in Germany because they substitute a part that is already homologated with the fork. Model-specific documents, where they exist, are named above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitting matters as much as the part. We are an authorised Öhlins service centre and carry out installation, servicing and setup ourselves — get in touch and we will arrange it alongside your order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrand:\u003c\/em\u003e Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/em\u003e 00698-06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSpring Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 44 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFree Length:\u003c\/em\u003e 230 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eStroke:\u003c\/em\u003e 130 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/em\u003e Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFinish:\u003c\/em\u003e Powder-coated yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/em\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645328548106,"sku":"00698-06","price":90.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/RearOhlinsSpring_58d8f0ff-8f93-4b79-a7f9-9f74941b7fcd.png?v=1788866601","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-cl\/products\/ohlins-shock-spring-44-n-mm-230-mm-57-mm-00698-06","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
