A rear spring matched to rider and load keeps the chassis attitude where the factory intended it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 170 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 60016-69\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 170 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Öhlins Makes Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wire is progressively wound where the application calls for it and straight where it does not. Two units carrying the same part number behave the same way out of the box, which is the whole point of testing each one. Every unit is dyno-tested against the curve held for its part number, not sampled from a batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and Rate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree length 170 mm, inner diameter 57 mm, rate 170 N\/mm — those three figures define the part completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Rate Belongs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeavier riders, two-up use and track days all push the choice towards this end. A firm rate holds the chassis attitude when the front or rear is loaded hard. If the suspension bottoms out or the geometry collapses under load, this is the direction to go. 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\u003eBecause the linkage is progressive on most modern machines, a small change in rate moves the sag more than riders expect. Öhlins sells rear springs separately precisely because rider weight varies more than machine weight does. A rear spring is the cheapest part of the suspension and the one that decides the most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere Öhlins lists this size against a particular unit, the listing is a starting point rather than a boundary. 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. Selection is by measurement. If the diameter and free length match your fork, the remaining question is the rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins part numbers are stamped on the packaging rather than the spring, so keep the label with the setup notes. Fork oil should be replaced at the same time — it is already out of the leg. A spring that is the correct length still needs the preload spacer checked, since installed length is what sets sag.\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\u003eThis is not a part to rush. Öhlins recommends installation by an authorised service centre, and we are an authorised Öhlins service centre — fitting, servicing and setup all happen here.
