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\u003eÖhlins part number 00596-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 270 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e141 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 58 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eManufacture and Tolerance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction is Öhlins' own in Sweden, and the tolerance on the rate is what separates these from a generic replacement. Öhlins sets a baseline for each part number on the machine it was developed on, so it works before anything is adjusted. Machining, anodising, assembly and testing all happen in the same building rather than across a supply chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensionally this is a 57 mm × 270 mm spring; within that envelope Öhlins offers a range of rates, and this one is 58 N\/mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing 58 N\/mm\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. 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\u003eA shock absorber spring carries the whole rear of the machine through a linkage that multiplies its rate several times over — which is why the number on the spring looks so much larger than a fork rate. A spring that has settled in service sits shorter than new, which quietly lowers the bike and steepens the steering. The damper can only control the spring it is given; the wrong rate makes every setting a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins lists no fixed model here — the spring is defined by its measurements, and any fork with matching dimensions can take it. A spring is one of the few suspension parts that is genuinely interchangeable: same bore, same free length, and it goes in. A workshop will pick this spring from its dimensions and the rider's weight, not from a fitment table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins states an air gap for this application, and that figure is part of the setting rather than a detail. Torque the fork caps to the manufacturer's figure; the springs change nothing about the assembly torque. Fork oil should be replaced at the same time — it is already out of the leg.\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 00596-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSpring Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 58 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFree Length:\u003c\/em\u003e 270 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 141 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":53645325697290,"sku":"00596-13","price":602.05,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/RearOhlinsSpring_0f7a94cd-c0e0-4c53-97f6-8daf4a565cb2.png?v=1788866586","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-fo\/products\/ohlins-shock-spring-58-n-mm-270-mm-57-mm-00596-13","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
