The Ohlins HD207 STX 36 Twin is a rear twin-shock package built for Harley-Davidson Sportster XL1200X Forty-Eight fitment. It’s designed to improve control and stability through more consistent damping behaviour and clearer feedback from the rear tyre. This unit uses a gas-charged, oil/gas separated design to help maintain damping consistency in real-world riding conditions.
