The Ohlins STX 36 rear twin shock for the BMW R 1150 R Rockster is engineered to deliver controlled damping and consistent chassis behaviour for road riding. Built around Ohlins’ proven monotube architecture, it focuses on predictable traction and stability across changing surfaces. This unit is intended as a direct-fit rear replacement for the standard twin shock arrangement.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a strong emphasis on damping quality, repeatability and long-term serviceability. The STX platform translates that approach to street bikes where confidence and composure matter more than outright stiffness.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders wanting a more controlled, settled rear end on the R 1150 R Rockster
  • Owners who value tuneability for different loads and riding conditions
  • Those looking for a serviceable, rebuildable rear suspension solution

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated monotube design intended to keep damping consistent through a wide range of operating conditions. As a twin rear application, it is built to suit the Rockster’s standard twin shock mounting layout.

Tuning controls

External damping adjustment is provided for rebound, allowing you to tailor how quickly the rear returns after compression. Spring preload adjustment is also included to help set ride height and support for rider weight, passenger or luggage.

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for BMW R 1150 R Rockster with rear twin shock configuration
  • Set static sag and preload before evaluating damping changes
  • If you’re unsure on setup for your load and use, have it fitted and adjusted by a qualified technician

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be maintained rather than discarded. Routine servicing helps keep damping performance consistent and protects internal components over time, particularly if the bike sees regular use in wet or dirty conditions.
