Mountain Bike Suspension Technology
MTB suspension is designed to isolate the rider and bike from rough terrain by absorbing impacts from rocks, roots, and uneven surfaces.
Öhlins suspension systems improve performance by:
- Keeping wheels in constant contact with the ground for better grip
- Improving stability during high-speed descents
- Reducing rider fatigue on long and technical rides
- Enhancing braking and climbing efficiency
- Protecting the bike from repeated impact stress
The result is a smoother, faster, and more controlled riding experience across all terrains.
Front Forks and Rear Shocks
Öhlins offers a complete range of suspension components:
Front Forks
Front forks absorb impacts from the front wheel, helping maintain steering precision, stability, and traction on rough terrain. They are essential for both hardtail and full-suspension bikes.
Rear Shocks
Rear shocks absorb impacts from the back wheel, improving traction, stability, and comfort. They ensure the rear tire stays planted during climbs, descents, and cornering.
Together, fork and shock systems work in harmony to deliver balanced performance and maximum control.
MTB Disciplines Supported
Öhlins suspension is engineered for a wide range of riding styles:
- Downhill (DH) – maximum impact absorption and control
- Enduro – balance of efficiency and aggressive descending
- Trail – comfort, support, and versatility
- Cross-country (XC) – lightweight performance and responsiveness
- Freeride / Gravity – high durability and control under heavy load
Each product is tuned for specific performance characteristics depending on travel, damping, and intended riding style.
