The Ohlins AP360 is a rear TTX GP shock absorber for Aprilia RSV4 1000 and RSV4 1000 RR applications. Built around Ohlins’ track-oriented damping architecture, it focuses on consistent control and clear tyre feedback under demanding use. It suits riders chasing a wide, usable adjustment range to balance grip, support and stability.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

TTX GP units are developed from Ohlins racing programs and aimed at performance road and track use. The objective is predictable chassis behaviour through braking, cornering and acceleration transitions, with damping control that remains consistent across longer sessions.

Shock design & features

This shock uses a twin-tube TTX-style damping layout with oil and gas separated (not an emulsion design) to help maintain stable performance and reduce aeration. The architecture is intended to keep damping behaviour consistent as temperatures and workloads rise.

Tuning controls

• Rebound damping adjustment: affects how quickly the rear returns after bumps and load changes, influencing stability and recovery on corner exit.
• Compression damping adjustment: affects resistance to squat and how the shock absorbs bumps under acceleration and mid-corner load, influencing support and grip.
• Ride height adjustment: allows chassis geometry changes to refine turn-in, balance and drive without relying only on preload changes.

Base setup (factory preset)

The baseline valving intent is a track-biased balance for the RSV4 platform, with support under higher loads while retaining usable compliance. Final tuning is typically matched to tyres, rider mass, and the split between track and road use.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a high-performance rear shock, periodic servicing helps keep damping response consistent. Fresh oil and seals support repeatable feel and help preserve adjuster function over time.

Before you install

Confirm sag and ride height targets first, then use rebound to manage stability and recovery and compression to manage support and bump absorption. Make small, systematic changes so it is clear whether a handling issue is coming from geometry, spring balance or damping.
