The Ohlins STX 36 twin shock set for Harley-Davidson FX-D and FX-DWG is built to improve rear-end control and consistency on the road. It’s designed to deliver stable damping behaviour over a wide range of conditions, with a focus on predictable feel and chassis support. This unit uses a gas-pressurised design to help maintain damping stability during sustained riding.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a strong engineering focus on control, feedback and repeatability. The STX platform is widely used where consistent damping and confident handling matter, without compromising everyday ride quality.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want a more controlled and composed rear end than a typical standard setup, particularly on heavier V-twin cruisers. A good match for spirited road riding and for riders who value clear chassis feedback when braking and cornering.

Shock design & features

This is a rear twin-shock arrangement from the Ohlins STX 36 family. It uses a gas-pressurised damper design to help reduce fade and keep damping behaviour consistent as conditions change. The layout is intended to support traction and stability with controlled damping response.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for compression damping and rebound damping, allowing you to tailor support and recovery to your riding style and load. Fine tuning can help balance comfort with control and improve stability during transitions.

Before you install

  • Confirm model fitment for Harley-Davidson FX-D and FX-DWG and check clearance around exhausts, guards and accessories.
  • Set sag and verify that spring preload and damping adjustments are within a sensible working range for your typical load.
  • After installation, re-check all fasteners and mounting points after the first rides.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviceable, supporting long-term performance when maintained. Periodic inspection and servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components as kilometres accumulate.
