The Ohlins BM888 TTX RT rear shock is built for the BMW S 1000 RR and riders chasing consistent chassis behaviour and clear tyre feedback. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated damping layout to help maintain control as conditions and pace change. The design provides a stable platform under braking and predictable drive on corner exit.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins race technology, this rear mono shock focuses on controlled damping and repeatable response. The TTX RT architecture is aimed at riders who want a composed feel at the limit without making the bike harsh or vague through transitions.

Who this shock is for

  • BMW S 1000 RR owners upgrading from a standard rear shock for more consistent damping and feel
  • Trackday riders and racers wanting clearer feedback and stability under hard braking
  • Riders who value adjustability to suit tyres, pace, and track grip levels

Shock design & features

This unit is gas-pressurised with oil and gas separated to support stable damping characteristics. The TTX RT design is intended to deliver strong support through fast load changes while maintaining traction and calm chassis behaviour on corner exit.

Tuning controls

The BM888 provides independent damping adjustments for compression and rebound. This separation lets you tune support under braking and acceleration without having to compromise rebound control, helping you dial in balance for your riding style and conditions.

Before you install

  • Confirm the application for your exact BMW S 1000 RR variant and model year before fitting
  • Set static and rider sag correctly to establish a solid baseline before making damping changes
  • If you’re changing tyres, gearing, or ride height, re-check balance and rear geometry after installation

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a performance rear shock, periodic servicing helps maintain damping consistency and seal condition over time. A routine service schedule is especially important if the bike sees regular track use or harsh conditions.
