OHLINS — frequently asked questions
Common questions, straight answers. No fluff.
- No. The shocks bolt to OEM mounts and respect the factory linkage geometry. No cutting, no welding, no spacers fabricated on a garage drill press.
- Weigh yourself in full kit. Helmet, boots, body armour, hydration pack, the lot. That's the number the spring sees on track, not your morning bathroom reading. Cross-check it against the Ohlins rate chart for your exact model. If you land between two rates, let the riding decide. Hare and hounds and fast motocross reward the firmer spring because heavy landings need the bottom-out resistance. Technical enduro and slow rock work reward the softer rate because the rear wheel has to track the ground to find grip. Wrong rate is the single biggest reason a premium shock feels worse than the stock unit it replaced.
- Spring swaps and clicker tweaks, yes. A torque wrench and a spring compressor cover it. Internal revalves and nitrogen recharges, no. That work needs a vacuum bleed rig and the right shim stock, and getting it wrong costs you a fork seal and a weekend.
- Yes. The wider clicker range lets you back the damping off for slow trail work and dial it back in for the weekend race. Deflection over roots drops, arm pump comes later in the day, and the bike stops hammering you over square edges by lap five.
- A full fork swap gives you fresh stanchions, fresh outers, and the proprietary low-friction coatings Ohlins runs on their complete units. A cartridge kit goes inside your existing legs, replacing the factory damping internals with race-spec pistons and shim stacks. Cartridges keep the OEM look and the OEM external dimensions, which matters if your bike runs a fork-mounted brake line guide or a specific triple-clamp offset. Damping quality between the two is closer than people think. Front-end feel through braking bumps improves either way. The fork swap wins on stiction and long-term service intervals. The cartridge wins on price.
- Fitment is year, make and model specific. Suspension geometry shifts between model years more than most riders expect, so a shock cut for a 2024 chassis rarely drops into a 2019 frame. Check eye-to-eye length, bushing diameter and reservoir clearance against the Ohlins fitment chart before ordering.
