Anodising is hard-coat rather than decorative, which matters on a component exposed to road salt and stone chips. The finish is applied after setting, which means the coating does not affect the rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins holds the free length at 300 mm and the inner diameter at 36.5 mm across this rate range, so moving up or down a rate changes nothing about the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Rate Belongs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirm rates trade some small-bump comfort for support — the right trade on a good surface at speed. A firm rate keeps the fork high in its stroke under braking, which preserves the geometry when the front is loaded hard. Firm rates also suit machines carrying luggage as a matter of course. 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\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA workshop will pick this spring from its dimensions and the rider's weight, not from a fitment table. Ask us with the machine and rider weight and we will tell you which rate in this size to take. This 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny suspension workshop can fit these; the fork does not need to leave the bike for long. Öhlins states an air gap for this application, and that figure is part of the setting rather than a detail. The fork legs come off, the springs are swapped and the oil level is reset — half a day in most workshops.\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\u003eThis is not a part to rush. Öhlins recommends installation by an authorised service centre, and we are an authorised Öhlins service centre — fitting, servicing and setup all happen here.
