Öhlins Shock Springs
Öhlins shock springs change the spring rate on an Öhlins rear shock, to suit rider weight and preference. The springs here are for Öhlins shocks on KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas off-road bikes and on Harley-Davidson Touring, Sportster, Dyna, Softail and FXR models, with others for Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha. Many titles give the rate in N/mm.
Why change a shock spring
Öhlins says it offers a wide range of springs for its shock absorbers, with different rates to suit the rider's weight and preferences. Its MX and enduro shocks are delivered without a spring, so the correct spring for the rider's weight is ordered separately, and Öhlins gives its spring recommendations in the mounting instructions for the specific shock.
Reading the titles
Each title gives Öhlins' size code and part number, and the rate in N/mm where the supplier data has it. Match the part number to the one your Öhlins shock's mounting instructions call for. Examples:
- Öhlins Shock Spring 46/190/19 N/mm 66419-019 for Harley-Davidson Dyna / Sportster / FXR
- Öhlins Shock Spring 57/170/95 N/mm 21102-31 for Harley-Davidson Softail 2018–2024
