The damper can only control the spring it is given; the wrong rate makes every click a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e95 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 00180-65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 62 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 190 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Öhlins Makes Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Öhlins part number is stamped on the unit, so its specification can be looked up years later. Materials read unremarkably on paper — aluminium, steel, nitrogen — and the difference lies in how precisely they are made. The unit is rebuildable: seals, shims and oil are catalogue items, not a reason to buy a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and Rate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 46 mm bore and 190 mm length are the two figures that decide whether it physically fits; 62 N\/mm decides whether it suits the rider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Rate Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA firm rate holds the chassis attitude when the front or rear is loaded hard. Firm rates trade some small-bump comfort for support — the right trade on a good surface at speed. If the suspension bottoms out or the geometry collapses under load, this is the direction to go. Ride quality on the road is decided by rate first and damping second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow a Rear Spring Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProgressive springs change rate through the stroke, which suits machines with little travel and a lot of load. Adding a pillion or luggage changes the rear load enough that the standard rate stops working properly. On a linkage-equipped machine the wheel moves several millimetres for every millimetre the damper moves, and the spring rate has to account for that ratio.\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. The safest way to choose is by static sag: set the target figure, and the rate follows from whether you can reach it with preload. A spring is one of the few suspension parts that is genuinely interchangeable: same bore, same free length, and it goes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the fork has not been serviced recently, bushes and seals are worth replacing while it is apart. The job needs no special tools beyond a fork spring compressor and a measuring rod for the oil level. Both legs are done together, and both take the same rate.\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\u003eÖhlins recommends that its suspension is fitted by an authorised service centre.
