How Öhlins Makes Them

Öhlins publishes recommended sag figures for its springs, so the setup has a reference rather than a feel. Öhlins winds, heat-sets and then measures every spring individually — the rate on the label is the rate you get. Rates are offered in defined steps, so a change can be made in one direction at a time.

Size and Rate

At 430 mm free length and 31.5 mm inner diameter, this spring is dimensionally interchangeable with anything of the same size — the rate is what makes it a different part.

Where This Rate Belongs

At this rate the fork sits deep in its travel under load, which is exactly what a long-travel chassis is designed around. A very soft rate uses more of the stroke, which is usually what an off-road chassis wants. Rates at this end are for long travel, light riders, or machines that need the wheel to follow the ground rather than skip over it. A road machine spends most of its life in the first third of the fork's travel — that is the part the rate governs.

Applications

Rate is the variable that depends on the rider, not on the machine. Two people on the same bike may well want two different numbers. A spring is one of the few suspension parts that is genuinely interchangeable: same bore, same free length, and it goes in. Öhlins offers rates in defined steps so a change can be made in one direction at a time rather than by guesswork.

Installation

Spring preload spacers may need adjusting to keep the installed length correct. Note the original oil level before draining — it is a useful reference even when Öhlins specifies its own. Both legs are done together, and both take the same rate.

Road Approval

Road approval: no separate certificate. The spring changes the rate, not the construction of the fork, and is treated as a service part.

Fitting and Setup Service

Öhlins components deliver what they promise once they are fitted and set up properly. As an authorised Öhlins service centre we do exactly that in house — installation, service and setup. Simply ask if you would like us to take care of it.
