The Ohlins DU531 TTX GP rear shock is built around Ohlins race-derived damping architecture for Ducati 1098, 1198 and 848 applications. It is intended to deliver consistent control under demanding track-style loads while maintaining clear chassis feedback. The design focuses on separation of damping circuits to support accurate, repeatable tuning.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

From the TTX GP family, this rear shock uses Ohlins twin-tube damping principles to improve stability and maintain damping consistency as conditions change. It is a purpose-focused unit for riders who want a suspension platform that responds clearly to adjustment changes.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders using their Ducati in track or track-focused riding where reliable damping control and tuning range matter. It’s also appropriate if you’re chasing a more controlled rear end feel under braking and on corner exit, and prefer a shock designed to be tuned rather than left untouched.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised shock with oil and gas separation for consistent damping behaviour. As part of the Ohlins TTX GP range, it is built to support precise damping response and stability through a wide range of riding conditions.

Tuning controls

The DU531 provides external damping adjustment for both compression and rebound, allowing you to tune grip, support and chassis balance to suit rider preference, tyres and track conditions. Compression and rebound circuits are arranged to support clear, independent changes when adjusting.

Before you install

• Confirm fitment for your Ducati 1098, 1198 or 848 and note that this unit replaces DU 931.
• Record your current settings before changes so you can return to a known baseline.
• Plan for correct installation, torque procedures and post-install checks, including sag setup.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a performance shock, it is designed to be serviced and maintained as part of normal suspension upkeep. Using the recommended Ohlins oil (01309-) and keeping service intervals appropriate to use helps preserve damping consistency and component life.
