MOTORCYCLE CUSTOM & HERITAGE

HISTORY

Ever since the company was founded in 1976, Öhlins has represented the very pinnacle of suspension technology and firmly rooted itself as an intricate part of the motorsport industry, underpinning countless world titles. That very technology has subsequently been adopted not only as the gold standard of aftermarket suspension, but is also by car and motorcycle manufacturers around the world.

Back in the 1960’s, Kenth Öhlin was an up-and-coming motocross rider and showed an innate talent for mechanics. He knew how to bring the best out of his material and soon he saw himself engaged in modifying his competitor’s bikes. By the time he started his business he had already designed exhaust pipes, engines and – of course – shock absorbers.

Öhlins soon became synonymous with advanced suspension. The products were not only superior in terms of technology, but as Mr. Öhlin was, and is, a very meticulous man the quality was always outstanding. The first world championship was won already in 1978, as Russian Gennady Moiseev took the 250cc title on an Öhlins equipped KTM. Since then, more than another 350 world titles have followed. The success continued in road racing and soon also in the automotive segment, in racing as well as in rally, all adding to the motorsport pedigree. But don’t think that Öhlins was content, not for a minute. The company continued to grow, adding electronically controlled, semi-active suspension to its portfolio under the trademark CES. Today, this technology has revolutionized the car industry and can be found in a wide range of products from premium car manufacturers.

In the 1980’s, Öhlins’ achievements got the attention of industrial giants and in 1987, Öhlins was acquired by Yamaha. Under the Japanese ownership, Öhlins had the necessary financial stability to develop into a dominating player in the industry. Twenty years later, Öhlins was considered better off on its own legs and Kenth Öhlin regained the company he once had started.

ÖHLINS TESTING & DEVELOPMENT

At Öhlins, we are serious about suspension. In fact, we live it and breathe it. The amount of engineering that goes into our products is simply staggering, every single product is tested and measured prior to production, in order to make sure you get the best performance possible. Think computer simulations, rig tests and evaluation on either race track or on the street. Or both. It may be the latest development for MotoGP or a new street application for your daily ride, our strict program applies to everything we do.

Öhlins are proud of the amount of engineering that are put in to our products. Remember, a large portion of our revenue is reinvested directly into research and development.

Not only that. In order for you to be sure to enjoy perfect performance from your Öhlins product for many years to come, every component is subject to a number of tests, from corrosion to fatigue resistance. And of course, our products are fully rebuildable should the day come.

ÖHLINS BORN IN RACING

Öhlins shock absorbers come in various designs, equipped with a wide range of functionalities. We manufacture over 300 different shock absorber models for more than 1,000 applications.

Our technology is grounded in high-end racing series such as MotoGP and WSBK. Our aftermarket shock absorbers for Custom & Heritage feature components and functionalities derived straight from King of the Baggers, Hooligan, American Flat Track and more. Öhlins shocks not only improve grip and stability, but also give a major boost to your bike’s chassis perfor mance.

FLUIDS

ACCESSORIES

Needless to say, the fluid used in the shock is a crucial part of the performance. Leaving nothing to chance, we develop our own suspension fluids, using the more precise Centistoke scale of viscosity rather than the conventional SAE scale. But to help you out a little bit if cSt is not your thing, we did put a small number on the lower right corner of the bottle, to make a reference.

Made with the same precision as other Öhlins products, we believe that our fluids not only do the job of bringing the best out of our shocks.

ÖHLINS STICKERS

Öhlins stickers range gives you the option to personalize your bike or shock. Stickers can be found through the Öhlins network.
