The Ohlins STX 36 twin rear shock set for Harley-Davidson Sportster is built around consistent damping control and predictable chassis behaviour. It uses a separated oil/gas design to help maintain damping stability as temperatures rise. This model is intended for riders who want a more controlled rear end without compromising day-to-day ride quality.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins shock absorbers are engineered with a focus on damping precision and repeatable performance. The STX 36 twin format suits applications that run dual rear shocks and benefit from balanced left/right response.
