Rear spring rate sets ride height, static sag and how much of the damper's stroke is actually usable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 01096-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e103 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 190 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 56 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Rate Holds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins sets a baseline for each part number on the machine it was developed on, so it works before anything is adjusted. Öhlins manufactures in Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm, and assembles and tests every unit there before it ships. Production has stayed in Sweden since the company was founded in 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree length 190 mm, inner diameter 57 mm, rate 56 N\/mm — those three figures define the part completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing 56 N\/mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom here it is easy to move one step in either direction once you have ridden it. Rates here suit a solo rider of typical weight on a road-going machine. This is the middle of Öhlins' range — the rate most riders of average weight end up on once sag is set properly. 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\u003eWhat the Rear Spring Decides\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. A rear spring is the cheapest part of the suspension and the one that decides the most. The damper can only control the spring it is given; the wrong rate makes every setting a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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. Öhlins lists no fixed model here — the spring is defined by its measurements, and any fork with matching dimensions can take it. Selection is by measurement. If the diameter and free length match your fork, the remaining question is the rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe job needs no special tools beyond a fork spring compressor and a measuring rod for the oil level. If the fork has not been serviced recently, bushes and seals are worth replacing while it is apart. Öhlins part numbers are stamped on the packaging rather than the spring, so keep the label with the setup notes.\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\u003eFitting matters as much as the part. We are an authorised Öhlins service centre and carry out installation, servicing and setup ourselves — get in touch and we will arrange it alongside your 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 01096-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSpring Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 56 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFree Length:\u003c\/em\u003e 190 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eStroke:\u003c\/em\u003e 103 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/em\u003e Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFinish:\u003c\/em\u003e Powder-coated yellow\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":53645346013450,"sku":"01096-12","price":340.0,"currency_code":"PGK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/RearOhlinsSpring_8e8061bb-c351-4312-a1ef-2aa81aab3cd1.png?v=1788866690","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-pg\/products\/ohlins-shock-spring-56-n-mm-190-mm-57-mm-01096-12","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
