The Ohlins DU326 STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built for Ducati 999 riders chasing consistent damping control and clear feedback at the rear tyre. Developed from Ohlins race experience, it is intended to deliver stable chassis behaviour under braking and improved drive on corner exit. The design uses a gas-pressurised layout to help maintain damping consistency during hard use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

As part of the STX 46 Supersport family, this rear mono shock is aimed at focused road and track riding where predictable support and traction matter. Ohlins valving philosophy prioritises control and feel, giving you a solid foundation for fine-tuning.

Who this shock is for

• Ducati 999 owners wanting a dedicated Ohlins rear mono upgrade for sharper control and stability
• Riders who value consistent behaviour during repeated braking and acceleration events
• Track-day riders looking for a platform that responds clearly to adjustment changes

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised shock with separated oil and gas to help reduce fade and maintain more consistent damping as temperatures rise. The architecture is based around the Ohlins STX 46 Supersport concept, tuned for performance-oriented use.

Tuning controls

The DU326 provides external rebound damping adjustment and compression damping adjustment, allowing you to balance support, grip and response to suit tyres, pace and surface conditions. These controls are intended to make meaningful changes without requiring internal modifications.

Before you install

Confirm the unit is correct for your Ducati 999 application and check overall condition of linkage bearings and mounting hardware before fitting. After installation, set rider sag and then use the rebound and compression adjusters to refine stability and traction based on your riding feedback.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins performance units, this shock is designed to be serviced to maintain damping quality over time. Regular inspection and periodic servicing will help keep performance consistent, particularly if the bike sees track use.
