Ohlins RXF38 M.2 Crown Stanchion Unit

This specific unit is designed for the RXF38 M.2 model. While it shares the same platform, it is best to verify your specific fork generation to ensure the steerer tube length and offset match your current setup.

Yes, the crown and stanchion assembly comes as a single, factory-pressed unit, which includes the steerer tube. This ensures the structural integrity and alignment are set to factory specifications right out of the box.

Replacing a crown stanchion unit is a significant service procedure that requires specialized tools for removing and installing the headset crown race and ensuring proper alignment. Unless you have experience with suspension overhauls and the necessary press tools, we recommend having a professional mechanic perform the installation.

You typically replace this unit if the stanchions are scratched or scored, which can damage the seals and cause oil leaks, or if the crown has developed creaking issues. It is also the necessary fix if the steerer tube has been cut too short for a new frame.

The 44mm offset is the standard for the RXF38 M.2 and is designed to balance stability at speed with responsive steering. If your current fork has a different offset, changing to this unit will alter the bike's trail measurement and handling characteristics.
