Can anyone tell me what the following Ohlins coding is in Spring rate as a comparison with the Oem which I believe is about 650-700

01099-49-130-L315
I'm told it's the highest they do and am wondering how it compares please.
Thanks

That should be 1315, not L315 and it is 742 pounds/inch, about the same as OEM on the non ES bikes. They go a lot higher than that.

I'm a little confused. It's definitely L315 and when I e mailed Ohlins this is what they said.
"I talked to our technician, there is no spring with a higher rate available… sorry!"
The reason being I purchased the YA013 rear shock for the st and that's the Spring it came with despite me giving a rider weight of 115 kg.
I was expecting a higher rate Spring .

Well, I don't know what to tell you, my friend. The chart I posted says 49 130 13.25 742 and the 13.25 is kg/mm which corresponds to 742 pounds/inch, which is what came on my Ohlins YA013 shock. We later changed to the 799 pound/inch and then the next higher, I think it was 850. Here is another Ohlins spring chart that may add to the confusion, as I still don't see the part number you posted.

Thanks for your help and advice. Ohlins are coming back to me next week so I'll try and get some answers then. I can't believe that 750 is the max Spring they offer . Would be nice to know what weight it caters for if that's the case.
Thanks again
