Too stiff and the front loses feel over bumps; too soft and it dives under the brakes. Rate sets that balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 260 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e151 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 25.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 8.0 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 08790-80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eManufacture and Tolerance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining, anodising, assembly and testing all happen in the same building rather than across a supply chain. Every Öhlins dealer can re-valve the unit, because the shim stack is a documented, serviceable assembly. Every unit is dyno-tested against the curve held for its part number, not sampled from a batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensionally this is a 25.5 mm × 260 mm spring; within that envelope Öhlins offers a range of rates, and this one is 8.0 N\/mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Rate Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the middle of Öhlins' range — the rate most riders of average weight end up on once sag is set properly. If you are unsure and close to average weight in full kit, this is the sensible starting point. Rates here suit a solo rider of typical weight on a road-going machine. Ride quality on the road is decided by rate first and damping second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing about the installation changes across a rate range: the mounting, the length and the bore stay the same. A workshop will pick this spring from its dimensions and the rider's weight, not from a fitment table. This spring is chosen by its dimensions rather than by motorcycle model: check inner diameter, free length and rate against the fork it is going into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSprings are supplied ready to fit; no cutting, grinding or packing is needed. Öhlins states an air gap for this application, and that figure is part of the setting rather than a detail. Spring preload spacers may need adjusting to keep the installed length correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: no separate certificate. The spring changes the rate, not the construction of the fork, and is treated as a service part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins components deliver what they promise once they are fitted and set up properly.
