Key Features
- Öhlins part number 14729-01
- Original Öhlins service part
Where It Sits
There is no measurement to check here — the number and the exploded view identify it. Öhlins uses a piston band rather than metal-to-metal contact, which is what keeps the bore intact. Twin-tube pistons have separate paths for compression and rebound, which is the whole point of the design. Port area and seat geometry decide the damping before any adjuster is touched.
Genuine Service Part
Parts remain available years after a unit leaves the current price list, which is unusual in this trade. Öhlins is one of the few suspension makers that still supplies every position in the exploded view as a single part. For a full rebuild, the seal kit plus the wear parts is usually the sensible order. If you are unsure which number your unit takes, send us the model and serial number of the damper and we will look it up.
Identifying the Right Part
The reliable route is the exploded drawing: find the position, read the number, order it — 14729-01 in this case. Öhlins does not publish a dimension here — go by the number and the exploded view. Needle geometry sets the shape of the adjustable range, not just its size. Port area and shim seat geometry decide the damping curve before any adjuster is touched.
Fitting and Setup Service
Öhlins recommends that its units are serviced by an authorised centre. We are one: rebuild, revalve and setup all happen in our own workshop.
