Too stiff and the front loses feel over bumps; too soft and it dives under the brakes. Rate sets that balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 4.6 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 465 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 08762-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 43.0 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Rate Holds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wire is progressively wound where the application calls for it and straight where it does not. The Öhlins part number is stamped on the unit, so its specification can be looked up years later. Every unit is dyno-tested against the curve held for its part number, not sampled from a batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 43.0 mm bore and 465 mm length are the two figures that decide whether it physically fits; 4.6 N\/mm decides whether it suits the rider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Rate Belongs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect more sag and more movement — that is the point, not a fault. Rates at this end are for long travel, light riders, or machines that need the wheel to follow the ground rather than skip over it. A very soft rate uses more of the stroke, which is usually what an off-road chassis wants. 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\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins offers rates in defined steps so a change can be made in one direction at a time rather than by guesswork. Öhlins lists no fixed model here — the spring is defined by its measurements, and any fork with matching dimensions can take it. Öhlins builds springs to dimensions rather than to model lists, so the question is always the same: does the diameter fit, does the length fit, and is the rate right for the rider?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins states an air gap for this application, and that figure is part of the setting rather than a detail. Once fitted, ride the machine before making damping changes: the new rate alters what the clicks do. Öhlins supplies a setting sheet with the springs; the numbers on it assume the specified oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: a spring is a like-for-like replacement of a wear part and carries no separate type approval. Where Öhlins states an approval for a particular motorcycle, it is named under Applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins 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.
