Adding a pillion or luggage changes the load enough that the standard rate stops working.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 00180-07\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 70 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 45 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Rate Holds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo units carrying the same part number behave the same way out of the box, which is the whole point of testing each one. Production has stayed in Sweden since the company was founded in 1976. Every Öhlins dealer can re-valve the unit, because the shim stack is a documented, serviceable assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 70 mm free length and 46 mm inner diameter, this spring is dimensionally interchangeable with anything of the same size — the rate is what makes it a different part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing 45 N\/mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom here it is easy to move one step in either direction once you have ridden it. Rates here suit a solo rider of typical weight on a road-going machine. This is where most riders of average weight land once static sag has been set to specification. Ride quality on the road is decided by rate first and damping second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow a Rear Spring Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rear spring carries the rider, the pillion and the luggage; the front carries only part of it. Static sag at the rear sets the whole chassis attitude — get it wrong and the front geometry goes with it. 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\u003eThis is a service part in the proper sense — it wears, it settles, and replacing it restores what the suspension was designed to do. Rather than a model list, use the measurements: a fork that accepts this diameter and length is a candidate, and the rate follows from rider weight. A spring is one of the few suspension parts that is genuinely interchangeable: same bore, same free length, and it goes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth legs are done together, and both take the same rate. Work on both legs in one session so the fork stays symmetrical. 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: 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 components deliver what they promise once they are fitted and set up properly. As an authorised Öhlins service centre we do exactly that in house — installation, service and setup. Simply ask if you would like us to take care of it.\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 00180-07\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSpring Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 45 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFree Length:\u003c\/em\u003e 70 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 30 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/em\u003e Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFinish:\u003c\/em\u003e Powder-coated black\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":53645312327946,"sku":"00180-07","price":62.71,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/RearOhlinsSpring_b8d5e951-c85d-41cc-ba6e-29ea5f9937d7.png?v=1788866492","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/ohlins-shock-spring-45-n-mm-70-mm-46-mm-00180-07","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
