Spring rate is the single largest variable in how a front end behaves, and it is the one thing no damping adjuster can compensate for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 25.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 08790-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 260 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e145 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 11.5 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair\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. Öhlins machines its own critical components instead of buying them in, and the tolerances are where the money goes. Every Öhlins dealer can re-valve the unit, because the shim stack is a documented, serviceable assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and Rate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree length 260 mm, inner diameter 25.5 mm, rate 11.5 N\/mm — those three figures define the part completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Rate Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rate this high is track territory or for a heavy rider: it stops the fork collapsing under sustained heavy braking. This is the stiff end of Öhlins' catalogue, chosen when fork dive rather than grip is the limiting factor. Öhlins offers rates this high only where the application genuinely needs them. Ride quality on the road is decided by rate first and damping second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins offers rates in defined steps so a change can be made in one direction at a time rather than by guesswork. Ask us with the machine and rider weight and we will tell you which rate in this size to take. Öhlins builds springs to dimensions rather than to model lists, so the question is always the same: does the diameter fit, does the length fit, and is the rate right for the rider?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFork oil should be replaced at the same time — it is already out of the leg. Öhlins part numbers are stamped on the packaging rather than the spring, so keep the label with the setup notes. Oil level is measured from the top of the tube with the fork compressed and the spring removed.\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\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 08790-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSpring Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 11.5 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFree Length:\u003c\/em\u003e 260 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 25.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eStroke:\u003c\/em\u003e 145 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/em\u003e Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePackaging Unit:\u003c\/em\u003e Pair\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":53645395263754,"sku":"08790-15","price":160.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/ForkSprings-v2_12e0054a-068c-44fd-a308-402b1ef01f1b.png?v=1788864314","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-ec\/products\/ohlins-fork-springs-11-5-n-mm-260-mm-25-5-mm-08790-15","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
