Öhlins shock
absorbers are an integral part of motor sport history. Past, present and
future. Today, the company enjoys a major market presence in terms of
high performance and top quality suspension products for motorcycles,
cars, four-wheels and snowmobiles.
Öhlins Racing's
firm dedication to motocross and enduro led firstly to road racing, and
then to new markets for production bikes, just as emphasis on snowmobile
racing led to a new market for regular snowmobiles. More than 100 World
Championship and other major titles are definitive proof that Öhlins
shock absorbers offer outstanding performance and reliability. And never
one to forget his roots, Kenth Öhlin sees to it that race track service
and support remains an important part of the company's operations.
Öhlins service
vehicles can be seen at World Championship events around the globe, at
motocross, enduro, superbike, road racing venues. Suspension products
from Öhlins have also been dominating a couple of classes in the
car-racing scene for years. Meanwhile, official distributors ensure an
active presence, and support at local level. The company sells its products
throughout the World from offices in Stockholm and Hendersonville, NC,
USA as well as a world-wide network of distributors in over 50 countries,
the largest which include Japan, USA, Germany, the UK, Italy and France.
Since 1987, Öhlins Racing has been majority-owned by the Yamaha Motor
Company, though it continues to operate as a dynamic, independent company
within the business group. Over 90% of the company's turnover is accounted
for by the export market, equally divided between original manufacturers
and aftermarket sales. Included among Öhlins biggest M/C customers
are Yamaha, Ducati, Aprilia and Gas Gas.
Each product from
Öhlins has been customised for a specific vehicle model. The target
for the future is to achieve an annual volume increase of 15-20%. In order
to make this happen, over a third of the company's workforce are actively
involved in key research and development. Since the company was first
started, front forks, front fork springs, steering dampers, special oils
and greases have all been added to the Öhlins Racing product range.
There is more to come. |
