The damper can only control the spring it is given; the wrong rate makes every click a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 66520-026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 200 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 26 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Rate Holds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe finish is applied after setting, which means the coating does not affect the rate. Öhlins winds, heat-sets and then measures every spring individually — the rate on the label is the rate you get. Anodising is hard-coat rather than decorative, which matters on a component exposed to road salt and stone chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensionally this is a 46 mm × 200 mm spring; within that envelope Öhlins offers a range of rates, and this one is 26 N\/mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Rate Belongs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eComfort and grip come from the spring moving early; this is the end of the range where that happens. On a machine ridden solo and mostly on the road, softer is often the honest choice. A softer rate keeps the tyre loaded on a poor surface, which is worth more than outright support on most roads. A road machine spends most of its life in the first third of the fork's travel — that is the part the rate governs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow a Rear Spring Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the linkage is progressive on most modern machines, a small change in rate moves the sag more than riders expect. Two riders 20 kg apart on the same motorcycle genuinely need different rates, not different clicks. Rear spring rates run in the tens or hundreds of N\/mm because the spring sits at the short end of that lever, not at the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere Öhlins lists this size against a particular unit, the listing is a starting point rather than a boundary. A spring is one of the few suspension parts that is genuinely interchangeable: same bore, same free length, and it goes in. If you are replacing a sagged original, measure its free length first — a tired spring often measures several millimetres short.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRate and preload are separate adjustments: get the rate right first, then set sag with preload. A spring that is the correct length still needs the preload spacer checked, since installed length is what sets sag. Both legs are done together, and both take the same rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: no separate certificate. The spring changes the rate, not the construction of the fork, and is treated as a service part.\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.
