Ever since the company was started in 1976 Öhlins has been an intricate part of the motorsport industry, but it doesn’t stop there. We have produced advanced suspension technology for the motorcycle and car industry, and besides being motorsport specialists we are also OEM suppliers and manu facturer of aftermarket suspension. It all started with Kenth Öhlin, himself a fair motocross rider in the 60’s and 70’s, started modifying his own bikes and later helping other riders reach success. Already before Öhlins Racing AB was started in 1976 he was constructing exhaust pipes, engines and shock absorbers.

Öhlins soon became synonymous with advanced suspension and in 1978 Öhlins shock absorbers were fitted for the first time on a world champion bike. Russian Gennady Moiseev who rode a KTM in the motocross 250cc class became the first world champion on Öhlins. More than 150 world titles would follow over the years with riders, drivers and teams winning titles with the help of Öhlins equipment.

Öhlins quickly grew, adding road racing to the motocross industry and after that it was just a small step into the automotive segment with success in car racing and rally adding to the motorsport pedigree. Öhlins continued to grow and with the CES technology we also moved into the automotive industry supplying CES valves to road car suspension.

In 1987 Öhlins was purchased by Yamaha and continued to grow in 20 years under Yamaha ownership but 20 years later Kenth Öhlin decided to buy back the company from Yamaha. Since 2007 the company is owned once again by Kenth Öhlin who is still active daily in the company.

Today Öhlins covers a wide span of areas within advanced suspension technology from motorcycle to car and other vehicles, from OEM manufacturing to aftermarket and from all forms of motorsport to street and off-road products and customized products.

• Today 285 employees• Kenth Öhlin owns 95% since December 2007• Head Quarter in Stockholm (10.000 sqm)• Subsidiary in USA – Hendersonville NC (23 employees)• Subsidiary in Germany – Nürburgring (5 employees)• 130.000 units produced last 12 months• 97 % of all sales on export• Annual Turnover around 60 MEUR (€)• Annual Growth around 15-20 % last 10 years• Focus on R&D, A/M, OEM and Racing of Advanced Suspension Technology for Motorcycles, Cars, Snowmobiles & ATV’s. 16 % of turnover is yearly invested back in R&D

Product Overview 2013

Based on your bike’s performance, its price and available mounting space we have designed a shock that we think suits it, both when it comes to price and performance. We start by choosing a type which we tailor-make for your specific bike. The basic setup, the design of the shim stacks and the calibration of the adjusters, is tested both on road and track. They are the results of true tests with your bike and no guesswork! Öhlins manufactures more than 300 different shock absorber models, each model is tailor-made for one specific bike. The concept of all Öhlins products is not a secret, it is precision. Precision provides superior control of the damping force and the key to our success.

We have the choice for you!

Mechanical and Electronics Engineering (Mechatronics) is the combination of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and Computer engineering. The purpose of this interdisciplinary engineering field is the study of automata from an engineering perspective and serves the purposes of controlling advanced hybrid systems. The word itself is a portmanteau of ‘Mechanics’ and ‘Electronics’.

Once in a while Öhlins Racing takes a monumental step into a new chapter in terms of advanced suspension technology. When the Swedish suspension manufacturer introduced the TTX technology in the beginning of the 21st century it was a major move into a completely new direction of suspension design and function.

Cavitation. Something you don’t want in your shock absorber. It’s devastating because basically it means the damping is lost. Small bubbles in the oil can never create the necessary damping forces. Traditional dampers working in extreme conditions sometimes suffers from low pressure on the piston backside.

The TTX was created by Öhlins engineers to eliminate the risk for cavitation. They succeeded. With the TTX technology a positive pressure balance is created in the shock which means the risk for cavitation is gone.

TTX stands for Twin Tube with the X illustrating how the flow through the valves in the cylinderheard is designed. Thanks to the twin tube technology the pressure usually created on top of the piston is transferred through the cylinder head and the adjusters for compression and rebound, then flows through the space between the inner and outer tube to the other side of the solid piston. These equals to a pressure balance within the shock. The outer reservoir is only

used to take care of the oil displacement from the piston rod and heat expansion, which is why it can be fairly small in design. Inside the reservoir there is a dividing piston between the oil and the nitrogen gas. The gas pressurizes the oil to a level between six and nine bars, basically the static pressure on both sides of the solid piston.

TTX technology is also used with a lot of success in the racing cartridge kits and front forks.

As with a lot of new technology from Öhlins the TTX technology was first introduced in racing after an intensive testing period and it instantly delivered a lot of wins and championships. Just two years later it was available to any privateer and quickly adapted to street applications as well. After a lot of success in racing and the sport and hypersport segment, it has now also been made available for Adventure type bikes. The TTX layout also makes these shocks ideal to use for electronically controlled (EC) suspension.

The technique is quite brilliant and the R&D Department has put a lot of thought into the new TTX EC parts. One of the initial challenges was to build a system that can be retrofitted onto all TTX street shocks.You can actually remove the standard valves from a TTX shock and insert the small stepper motor that will alter the clicker settings electronically in fixed steps maneuvered from a panel, or automatically via a continuous feed of information from a ECU.

The TTX36 has brought bikes and riders to the podium and to the winners circle many times and has been an obvious choice for winner’s bikes. Now the latest experience from MotoGP and WSBK can be on your bike too. The dynamic behavior is improved in the MKII version thanks to reinforced tubes, new piston and piston bands. Check valves are improved in terms of opening force and closing forces and each and every part has been under the sharp eye of our engineers.

The result is a shock absorber with the latest developments from Öhlins, all learned from experience in MotoGP and WSBK.

Following Öhlins succesful introduction of Mechatronics on OE bikes such as the Ducati 1199 Panigale S and Multistrada 1200 S, the time is here to launch the first aftermarket Mechatronics shock absorber. The first application out is the TTX36 MKII EC for the Kawasaki ZX 10 R.

Working with sophisticated algorithms and based on the experience and success from World Superbike in 2008, Öhlins R&D put it all to work to reach the best possible performance on track but also comfort when commuting on normal roads to work or on the way home from that perfect track day. The hardware used is the successful Öhlins TTX36 MK II shock absorber used in racing as well as the ultimate aftermarket upgrade to street bikes. It has been coupled with advanced software continuously monitoring the riding behavior, how the bike responds to that riding style as well as

chosen power modes. It uses all this information to make instant changes in click settings as you ride.The result is a shock absorber instantly set-up for your riding style at the moment. If you chose a high power mode and go hard on the throttle or on the brakes the shock will be in the perfect click setting for that style. If you want a sport set-up, ride like a racer and you’ll get it. And when the riding is calmer, for instance when on the road back home, it instantly reacts to that and reacts with a more comfortable setting.

This is possible thanks to the chat between the Smart Öhlins ECU and the bike control units. The details are the secrets of Öhlins. The result is obvious for anyone riding it. The promise is simple, this is the best semi active system currently available. It will also work together with the OE mounted steering damper from Öhlins available on the 2013 ZX 10 R.

The popular Öhlins S46 shock absorber is a perfect upgrade for bikes in the Dual Sport and Adventure segment. The damper is a single tube design with a 46 mm piston and it’s available in many different configurations both with and without pre load adjuster, in piggyback and hose versions as well as in combinations of one to three way adjustable versions. It all depends on your bike model which type of configuration fits your bike. The S46 is available for most major models in the adventure segment.

Öhlins now offer front end upgrades to the Dual Sport and Adventure bikes. Based on the successful road racing kits. The Öhlins cartridge kits have now been made for the medium sized adventure bikes. Based on the succesful Öhlins technology, we are proud to introduce Öhlins cartridge kits for this segment.

Medium sized adventure bikes used in their right element on true adventures both on and off the road can now enjoy the improved comfort and performance from an Öhlins cartridge kit. Öhlins R&D decided to go for a solution based on the successful Öhlins NIX technology to reach the goal of a cartridge that can deliver both comfort and performance, and go longer than an off-road kit between servicing.The small design of the cartridge kit makes it fiteasily in the upside down OE forks most adventures bikes are equipped with today. The kits are easy to install, just pop out the OE kits and install the Öhlins cartridge kits instead.

Thanks to the FKA 100 kits from Öhlins the bikes now has a fully adjustable front end. Rebound damping is on one leg and compression in the other leg, with adjustable spring preload in both legs. Together with an overall improved damping system, the bike is transformed and can deliver so much more.

Different springs are available for riders individual demands as well as an effective hydraulic stop inside the kit to prevent bottoming. After tests we feel confident this cartridge kit improves the adventure bike both in terms of comfort and overall performance. Fast gravel roads on a weekend or piloting around small trails to find the perfect stop for the night demands both comfort and performance. With this kit the bike delivers that.The kit will first be available for the BMW F800 GS as well as the Triumph Tiger 800 and 800 XC. During 2013 more bikes will be added to the application list.

Öhlins offers a wide range of springs both for all applications of Öhlins products as well as replacement springs for OE applications. Different lengths and spring rates are available.One of the most important aspects of fine tuning the set-up of the bike to your riding style and weight is to work with the springs and measure the sag of the bike right. Fortunately Öhlins experienced service centers can help you with this and help you chose from the Öhlins range of aftermarket springs for both cartridge kits and shock absorbers.

One important part of your suspension performance, is the fluids used.Öhlins Racing does not accept nothing but the best, that is why we decided to develop our own suspension fluids.We use the more reliable scale Centistoke, to tell what´s inside the bottle, rather than the 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, to make a reference to the SAE scale.

Needless to say, Öhlins products works best with our fluids, and frankly, we belive others products do too!
