For some unknown reason Ohlins uses it’s own numbers to label rate, but below on the rate conversion chart you can cross reference this number. Almost all Ohlins springs have a diameter of 57mm so that’s easy, the 1091 in this case means it has a 160mm length (when not on the shock) The -34 is the spring rate. The 1091 refers to the diameter and the length of the spring. Using the below charts you can “decode” what you are looking.
How To Read An Ohlins Spring Code 1091-34/100 is an example of a code you will find on an Ohlins shock spring. All of which, I think is important to understanding Willyz chart. So, '.how can someone figure out if their shock has the right spring for their weight?'įinally, what does the number of 'lbs/in' represent. Having learned how to read the Ohlins' code, I find myself asking 'What's a spring rate?' As I understand it, there's a correlation between spring rate and rider's weight. After browsing through a whole bunch of stuff including some fairly sophisticated stuff (translate 'beyond me) I have a question or three. In this case the /100 means its a 100nm spring. In this case a -34 is a 100nm or 10.19kg or 571lb spring The /100 is the springs rate in Newton meters, but without the decimal. These suggested rates will get you in “the ball park”. of 1 Use the charts below to help you establish the best spring rate for your Demo/Enduro EVO.
