DescriptionThe whole story

Öhlins part number 08790-90 is a pair of fork springs rated at 9.0 N/mm, 260 mm long with a 25.5 mm inner diameter. Too stiff and the front loses feel over bumps; too soft and it dives under the brakes. Rate sets that balance.

Key Features

  • Inner diameter 25.5 mm
  • Supplied as a pair
  • Free length 260 mm
  • Straight-wound, constant rate
  • Öhlins part number 08790-90
  • 151 mm of usable stroke
  • Measured spring rate 9.0 N/mm

Manufacture and Tolerance

Every Öhlins dealer can re-valve the unit, because the shim stack is a documented, serviceable assembly. The wire is progressively wound where the application calls for it and straight where it does not. Rates are offered in defined steps, so a change can be made in one direction at a time.

Size and Rate

The 25.5 mm bore and 260 mm length are the two figures that decide whether it physically fits; 9.0 N/mm decides whether it suits the rider.

Where This Rate Belongs

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. A mid rate balances support under braking against compliance over the surface, which is why it is the usual starting point. 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

Ask us with the machine and rider weight and we will tell you which rate in this size to take. Öhlins offers rates in defined steps so a change can be made in one direction at a time rather than by guesswork. Selection is by measurement. If the diameter and free length match your fork, the remaining question is the rate.

Fitting

The springs come powder-coated and need no preparation before they go in. If the fork has not been serviced recently, bushes and seals are worth replacing while it is apart. Check the free length against the old springs before fitting — a sagged original often measures short.

Road Approval

Road approval: not applicable to the spring on its own. Öhlins issues approvals against complete suspension units, not individual springs.

Fitting and Setup Service

Öhlins recommends that its suspension is fitted by an authorised service centre. We are one, and we do the work here: installation, servicing and a proper setup. Ask us and we will include it with the order.
