When it comes to bling, very few products deliver an injection of kerb appeal to rival a set of Öhlins suspension.

Instantly recognisable by their gold finish or yellow shock spring, since their formation in 1976 the Swedish-made units have become synonymous with quality and winning ways.

Öhlins units can be found on anything from a retro, an adventure bike or a modern classic to a naked machine.

Want proof? Here are our top five used bikes that are suspended by Öhlins products.
