We’re offering riders a seamless solution to achieve the smooth, consistent ride feel they crave, whether they’re tackling long technical descents or enjoying a session at the bike park.”

Key Features of the Öhlins MTB Coils

• Plush Coil-Sprung Performance: Riders can adapt the performance of their forks to suit riding scenarios where smooth, more linear performance is preferred. 

• Outstanding Durability: Built to withstand even the toughest conditions, Öhlins’ coil springs offer exceptional durability and temperature resistance, ensuring reliable performance from start to finish. 

• Improved Small Bump Sensitivity: Optimized coil springs enhance small bump sensitivity, allowing riders to maintain traction and control over rough terrain for a more enjoyable riding experience. 

• Versatile Compatibility: Compatible with their RXF38 and DH38 front forks, Öhlins’ cartridge-based springs allow riders to effortlessly switch between coil and air springs to suit their riding style, giving them “two forks in one”.

In addition to being sold as separate kits that fit all previous RXF38 and DH38 fork models, Öhlins’ new MTB coil options will be available in complete coil versions of the RXF38 m.2 and DH38 m.1 forks.

“We’re proud to offer riders the flexibility to tailor their front suspension to meet their unique riding needs”, added Thomas Westfeldt. “Whether you prefer the smooth, supple feel of a coil spring or the progressive performance of an air spring, our MTB coil solutions provide the versatility you need to maximize your riding potential.”
