Öhlins: suspension and components for your motorcycle

Öhlins was founded in 1976 by Kenth Öhlin, with activities linked to motocross motorcycle suspension. Its beginnings lie between the tracks and the family workshop, where he observed that suspension needed to keep pace with engine development. From those racing origins, the brand has developed a range for different ways of riding and using a motorcycle. Its current offering covers road, track, adventure, motocross and enduro applications, as well as other disciplines.

At Motarea you can explore shock absorbers, complete forks, cartridges, suspension springs and steering dampers, alongside suspension oils and workshop mats. Each family meets a different need: replacing a component, working on fork internals or preparing a maintenance operation. Choosing by function and reference helps you find the right part without confusing components that share a brand or appearance.

Öhlins shock absorbers: STX, TTX and different applications

The selection of Öhlins shock absorbers includes STX 36 and STX 46, TTX GP, TTX Flow, TTX 30 and AR-X references, among others. The catalogue covers Street Performance, Supersport, Adventure, American V-Twin, Custom & Heritage, Scooter and MX & Enduro applications. The family also contains front shock absorbers for scooters, so check the position stated in each product's details.

Before choosing, check the application for your motorcycle, mountings, length and installation conditions described for the reference. Also review the adjustments fitted to that unit and whether additional components are required. Adjustment functions can vary between versions; sharing a series name does not mean every shock absorber has the same configuration.

Complete forks, cartridges and suspension springs

Öhlins forks and cartridges include complete forks and kits for working on front suspension internals. The family includes FGRT and FGR fork references, alongside NIX, TTX, FKC and FDK cartridges. A complete fork and a cartridge kit are different products. Check the receiving fork model, application and kit contents before installation; use the product details and instructions to establish which parts are included and which must be selected separately.

In Öhlins suspension springs you will find references for forks, cartridge kits and rear shock absorbers, with different dimensions and spring rates. The range includes springs for STX and TTX assemblies; always check the receiving component and specific application, without restricting this family to front suspension. Review the diameter, length and spring rate expressed in N/mm, as well as the receiving component. Selection must follow the reference's documentation and the suspension configuration; a similar-looking spring may have different dimensions or characteristics.

Steering and oils for suspension maintenance

Öhlins steering dampers provide access to this family's Street Performance references. Before choosing, check the intended installation, stroke and corresponding mounting parts. Consult the assembly instructions to distinguish the damper from its brackets and confirm the components needed for installation on your motorcycle.

The family of fork and shock absorber oils includes grade 5 Road & Track and grade 10 and 20 fork oils in one-litre containers. Consult the specification required by the fork or shock absorber and the documentation for the particular fluid. Do not choose solely by the commercial number on the container: check the specified product, quantity and maintenance procedure.

Workshop mats and choosing your Öhlins components

Öhlins workshop mats complete the selection with 100 × 220 cm references carrying the brand logo. This link helps you find them separately from suspension parts. Check the dimensions and details in each product listing to assess the workspace where you will use them.

Use the six links on this page to browse Motarea's Öhlins catalogue by family. Before buying, review each reference's compatibility, position, dimensions, contents and conditions of use. For installation and setup, follow the component and motorcycle documentation; when combining several parts, check that the complete selection matches the system you intend to install.
