The Ohlins HD216 is an STX 36 twin rear shock set for Harley-Davidson Dyna FXD models. Built around a single-tube damper design, it focuses on controlled damping behaviour and consistent feel over a wide range of road conditions. This is a rear suspension unit intended for riders who want clearer chassis feedback and the ability to tune the ride to suit load and pace.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins motorcycle shocks are engineered with a strong emphasis on damping control and repeatable adjustment. The HD216 twin shock package is designed to suit the Dyna platform while keeping the installation and tuning process straightforward.

Who this shock is for

  • Harley-Davidson Dyna FXD riders looking to improve control and stability from the rear end
  • Owners who carry a passenger or luggage and want suspension they can tune to suit changing loads
  • Riders who prefer a more composed, confidence-inspiring ride without making the bike feel harsh

Shock design & features

  • Twin rear shock configuration for Dyna applications
  • STX single-tube architecture with an emulsion oil/gas damping layout
  • Focused on maintaining consistent damping behaviour during sustained riding

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to control return speed after bumps and weight transfer
  • Compression damping adjustment to manage support under braking, acceleration and sharp-edge impacts

Before you install

  • Confirm model fitment and check that all mounting hardware and clearances match your Dyna FXD setup
  • Inspect linkage/mount points and replace worn bushes or fasteners so the shocks can work as intended
  • After fitting, set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit your tyres, load and typical roads

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain damping performance over time. Regular inspection for leaks, worn bushes and changes in ride control will help indicate when servicing is due, particularly if the bike sees frequent rough-road use.
