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\u003eÖhlins part number 14714-01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 162.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Rate Holds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterials read unremarkably on paper — aluminium, steel, nitrogen — and the difference lies in how precisely they are made. Production has stayed in Sweden since the company was founded in 1976. Two units carrying the same part number behave the same way out of the box, which is the whole point of testing each one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKit contents are matched at the factory; substituting one component changes what the rest was set up for. This number covers a matched set, so the relevant figure is the rate rather than a single length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Rear Spring Decides\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStatic sag at the rear sets the whole chassis attitude — get it wrong and the front geometry goes with it. The damper can only control the spring it is given; the wrong rate makes every setting a compromise. Preload adjusts sag within a rate; it does not change the rate, and no amount of it will rescue a spring that is wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA workshop will pick this spring from its dimensions and the rider's weight, not from a fitment table. Any workshop with the fork or shock in front of it can answer whether this spring fits — the three figures above are all it needs. Nothing about the installation changes across a rate range: the mounting, the length and the bore stay the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSprings are supplied ready to fit; no cutting, grinding or packing is needed. Rate and preload are separate adjustments: get the rate right first, then set sag with preload. Once fitted, ride the machine before making damping changes: the new rate alters what the clicks do.\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\u003eÖhlins suspension rewards careful fitting. We recommend having the work done by an authorised Öhlins service centre — and we are one ourselves: we fit, service and set up Öhlins components in house. If you would like us to handle the installation, just ask and we will quote it with the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrand:\u003c\/em\u003e Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/em\u003e 14714-01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFree Length:\u003c\/em\u003e 162.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/em\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645398737162,"sku":"14714-01","price":99.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/RearOhlinsSpring_6696fa6d-0510-4d56-8fb8-fc44c32437e3.png?v=1788866832","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-om\/products\/ohlins-shock-spring-162-8-mm-57-mm-14714-01","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
