The Ohlins DMX0216 rear shock is built for Kawasaki KX 450F riders who want more consistent control from the rear end in demanding motocross conditions. As a TTX Flow DV unit, it is designed to deliver stable damping behaviour through repeated impacts and long motos. It is supplied without a spring, allowing the spring rate to be matched to the rider and bike setup.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins off-road shocks are developed with a focus on predictable damping, traction and rider feedback. The DMX0216 is intended to give clearer feel at the rear wheel so suspension changes translate cleanly on track.

Who this shock is for

  • Kawasaki KX 450F owners replacing a worn shock or moving to a higher-level damping package
  • Riders who want a shock that can be tuned to suit track conditions and riding style
  • Setups where choosing the correct spring separately is preferred

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised shock with separated oil and gas to help maintain consistent damping under heat and heavy use. The TTX Flow DV architecture is aimed at improving oil flow management through the damping system for stable performance and feel across a wide range of impacts.

Tuning controls

The DMX0216 provides external adjustments for rebound and compression damping, along with preload adjustment via the spring platform. These controls allow changes to rear grip, chassis attitude and response to bumps without internal revalving.

Before you install

  • No spring is supplied; spring selection is required (refer to the specified spring series in the notes)
  • Confirm you have the correct preload adjuster if required for your setup (as noted for this shock)
  • Use the recommended Ohlins oil listed for service work

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a rebuildable Ohlins unit, the shock is intended to be serviced to keep damping consistent over time. Regular maintenance helps protect internal components and keeps adjusters and seals working as intended.
