Adding a pillion or luggage changes the load enough that the standard rate stops working.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e113 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 00698-29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 230 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 90 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eManufacture and Tolerance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterials read unremarkably on paper — aluminium, steel, nitrogen — and the difference lies in how precisely they are made. Two units carrying the same part number behave the same way out of the box, which is the whole point of testing each one. Öhlins machines its own critical components instead of buying them in, and the tolerances are where the money goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensionally this is a 57 mm × 230 mm spring; within that envelope Öhlins offers a range of rates, and this one is 90 N\/mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Rate Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end of the range suits heavier riders, two-up use, or a machine ridden hard enough that fork dive becomes the limit. Firm rates also suit machines carrying luggage as a matter of course. Heavier riders, two-up use and track days all push the choice towards this end. Road surfaces are the hardest test of a spring rate, because the fork has to cope with both a smooth stretch and a broken one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRate and the Linkage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins supplies most of its shocks without a spring precisely so the rate can be matched to the rider rather than averaged. Two riders 20 kg apart on the same motorcycle genuinely need different rates, not different clicks. Rear spring rate sets ride height and static sag, and those two decide the chassis attitude before any damping click matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA spring is one of the few suspension parts that is genuinely interchangeable: same bore, same free length, and it goes in. There is no model list for this size because the spring is a dimensional part: it fits whatever fork it physically fits. Ask us with the machine and rider weight and we will tell you which rate in this size to take.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins part numbers are stamped on the packaging rather than the spring, so keep the label with the setup notes. Preload spacers usually need shortening or lengthening so the installed length stays correct. Spring preload spacers may need adjusting to keep the installed length correct.\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\u003eWe are an authorised Öhlins service centre, so the installation does not have to be your problem: we fit and set up Öhlins components in our own workshop.
