Ohlins Rear Shock Coil Spring

Spring rate selection depends on your rider weight, bike leverage ratio, and personal preference for sag. A 297 lbs/in rate is relatively light, so it is best suited for lighter riders or bikes with specific suspension kinematics that require a softer initial feel.

This spring is designed for shocks with a 36mm inner diameter and a 75mm stroke. Before purchasing, verify that your shock's body diameter matches the 36mm specification and that your shock's stroke length is compatible with the 75mm measurement.

While titanium springs are generally lighter, this steel option is engineered to be lightweight without sacrificing the durability and consistent performance Ohlins is known for. It offers a reliable, cost-effective balance between weight savings and structural integrity.

Coil springs like this one provide a more linear suspension feel and reduced friction compared to air shocks, which translates to better small-bump sensitivity and consistent performance on long, technical descents. You lose the ability to easily adjust spring rate with a pump, but you gain superior traction and reliability.

Steel coil springs are largely maintenance-free. We recommend periodically checking that the spring is properly seated on the shock collars and ensuring there is no debris trapped between the coils, which can cause noise or wear over time.
