The Ohlins HD244 STX 36 twin rear shock set is built to improve damping control and chassis feel on Harley-Davidson Sportster models. Designed as a matched pair for twin-shock rear ends, it focuses on consistent response and tunability for real-world road use. The STX 36 platform is intended for riders who want clearer feedback without compromising day-to-day ride quality.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins development is grounded in repeatable damping control and predictable behaviour over a wide range of conditions. This twin-shock configuration targets stability and traction with a measured, engineering-led approach to suspension performance.

Who this shock is for

  • Sportster riders wanting more support and control from the rear end
  • Owners who prefer a tunable setup for changing loads and road conditions
  • Riders looking to refresh ageing or inconsistent rear suspension with a quality matched pair

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised design to help keep damping consistent through longer or harder rides. As a twin-shock rear arrangement, the pair works together to manage rear wheel control and chassis attitude, with the STX 36 architecture aimed at stable, repeatable damping response.

Tuning controls

The HD244 provides external adjustment for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to balance comfort, support and traction to suit your riding style. Spring preload adjustment is also used to set ride height and suit rider and luggage load.

Before you install

  • Confirm your motorcycle uses a rear twin-shock layout and that the mounting points match your Sportster configuration
  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit your roads
  • Check clearance around belt/chain, guards and exhaust components through full suspension travel

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be maintained. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components over time, particularly if the bike is ridden regularly or in harsh conditions.
