Shafts are hardened and surface-treated so the seal has a consistent surface to run against. Rates are offered in defined steps, so a change can be made in one direction at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 46 mm bore and 230 mm length are the two figures that decide whether it physically fits; 15-25 N\/mm decides whether it suits the rider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Rear Spring Decides\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdding a pillion or luggage changes the rear load enough that the standard rate stops working properly. A shock absorber spring carries the whole rear of the machine through a linkage that multiplies its rate several times over — which is why the number on the spring looks so much larger than a fork rate. A spring that has settled in service sits shorter than new, which quietly lowers the bike and steepens the steering.\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. 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. Öhlins lists no fixed model here — the spring is defined by its measurements, and any fork with matching dimensions can take it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet static sag after fitting; the rate is only right if the sag figure lands where Öhlins specifies. Check the free length against the old springs before fitting — a sagged original often measures short. 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: 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 60480-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSpring Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 15-25 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFree Length:\u003c\/em\u003e 230 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eStroke:\u003c\/em\u003e 130 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/em\u003e Prog.\/Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFinish:\u003c\/em\u003e Powder-coated yellow\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":53645429637386,"sku":"60480-11","price":91.71,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/RearOhlinsSpring_063fba9b-3641-4ebd-a329-ad8e582eefae.png?v=1788866973","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/ohlins-shock-spring-15-25-n-mm-230-mm-46-mm-60480-11","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
