DescriptionThe whole story▼

For the KTM 125 XC built 2021–2025, Öhlins specifies FFX 2201. The adjusters on a standard fork often move very little; on this one they move the whole range.

Key Features

  • Öhlins spring 02428-47 included
  • Spring rate 4,7 N/mm, set against this machine's weight
  • Direct fitment on the KTM 125 XC (2021–2025)
  • Damper stroke 297 mm

The 125 XC in Particular

Öhlins covers the 5-year production run of this generation with a single part number, which means the mounting and the linkage stayed unchanged across it. A 125 cc machine of this type sits in a specific weight band, and Öhlins picks the spring rate for that band rather than for the platform. Enduro use means long days, hot oil and terrain that changes every hundred metres.

Front-End Performance

1330 is the Öhlins oil specification for this number. The spring is wound to 4,7 N/mm, and alternative rates are catalogue items. 297 mm of stroke is what the 125 XC's linkage allows, and the shim stack is set for exactly that. The spring carries Öhlins number 02428-47 and can be exchanged for a different rate without replacing the damper. Each function has its own adjuster, which is what allows one change to be judged honestly. Preload is adjusted separately from damping, and the two should not be confused.

The RXF 48 S in Detail

The coil holds its rate as the fork heats and needs no pressure check between motos. Air forks need a pressure check before every ride, and the RXF 48 S removes that step entirely. Air springs need checking before every ride and change their rate as they heat; a coil does neither.

How Öhlins Builds It

Every Öhlins dealer can re-valve the unit, because the shim stack is a documented, serviceable assembly. Anodising is hard-coat rather than decorative, which matters on a component exposed to road salt and stone chips. Öhlins applies a low-friction coating to the sliding surfaces on most fork numbers, which reduces stiction.
