Rear spring rate sets ride height, static sag and how much of the damper's stroke is actually usable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 15 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 150 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 60281-03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eManufacture and Tolerance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRates are offered in defined steps, so a change can be made in one direction at a time. Anodising is hard-coat rather than decorative, which matters on a component exposed to road salt and stone chips. Machining, anodising, assembly and testing all happen in the same building rather than across a supply chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensionally this is a 46 mm × 150 mm spring; within that envelope Öhlins offers a range of rates, and this one is 15 N\/mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Rate Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRates in this range suit lighter riders and machines that spend their time on real roads rather than smooth circuits. Lighter riders usually end up a step or two below the factory rate once sag is measured properly. Comfort and grip come from the spring moving early; this is the end of the range where that happens. 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\u003eHow a Rear Spring Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rear spring is the cheapest part of the suspension and the one that decides the most. Rear spring rates run in the tens or hundreds of N\/mm because the spring sits at the short end of that lever, not at the wheel. Rear spring rate sets ride height and static sag, and those two decide the chassis attitude before any damping click matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are replacing a sagged original, measure its free length first — a tired spring often measures several millimetres short. Where Öhlins lists this size against a particular unit, the listing is a starting point rather than a boundary. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth legs are done together, and both take the same rate. Öhlins states the oil and the air-gap for this application — both are part of the setting, not a detail. Oil level is measured from the top of the tube with the fork compressed and the spring removed.\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\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.
