It was the 1970th’s, a young man
named Kenth Öhlin spent most of his
spare time pursuing his favourite sport:
motocross.
A careful observer, Kenth’s attention
was continually drawn to one specifi c
detail - motocross bikes had more engine
power than their suspension could
handle. It was not long before Kenth
realised that better performance could be
achieved by improved wheel suspension.
Öhlins Racing was established in 1976,
and just two years later the company won
its fi rst World Championship title. Despite
being in the business for 30 years, the
search for perfection and new functions is
still the main focus of the company.
You are now the owner of an Öhlins
Shock Absorber. More than one hundred
World Championships and other major
world titles are defi nitive proof that
Öhlins shock absorbers offer outstanding
performance and reliability.
Every product has gone through
rigorous testing and engineers have spent
thousands of hours, doing their very best
to use every possible experience from our
30 years within the racing sport.
