This is the change a suspension technician makes first, before touching a single click.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 370.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 04802-70\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 25.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 7 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e196 mm of usable stroke\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. Machining, anodising, assembly and testing all happen in the same building rather than across a supply chain. Each spring is set before it is measured, so it will not settle and lose rate in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 25.5 mm bore and 370.5 mm length are the two figures that decide whether it physically fits; 7 N\/mm decides whether it suits the rider.\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 soft rate favours grip and comfort over support: the fork moves early, which keeps the tyre loaded on a poor surface. 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\u003eThe safest way to choose is by static sag: set the target figure, and the rate follows from whether you can reach it with preload. Any workshop with the fork or shock in front of it can answer whether this spring fits — the three figures above are all it needs. Sag figures, not feel, decide whether a rate is right. Öhlins publishes the targets for its own units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the fork has not been serviced recently, bushes and seals are worth replacing while it is apart. Once fitted, ride the machine before making damping changes: the new rate alters what the clicks do. Spring preload spacers may need adjusting to keep the installed length correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: not applicable to the spring on its own. Öhlins issues approvals against complete suspension units, not individual springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins suspension rewards careful fitting. We recommend having the work done by an authorised Öhlins service centre — and we are one ourselves: we fit, service and set up Öhlins components in house. If you would like us to handle the installation, just ask and we will quote it with the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrand:\u003c\/em\u003e Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/em\u003e 04802-70\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSpring Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 7 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFree Length:\u003c\/em\u003e 370.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 25.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eStroke:\u003c\/em\u003e 196 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/em\u003e Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePackaging Unit:\u003c\/em\u003e Pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/em\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645358203146,"sku":"04802-70","price":161.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/ForkSprings-v2_579f0a5d-1be0-481c-8b5f-bc743976d636.png?v=1788863728","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/ohlins-fork-springs-7-n-mm-370-5-mm-25-5-mm-04802-70","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
