The Ohlins STX 36 Blackline rear shock pair is designed for Harley-Davidson Sportster XL models, focusing on controlled damping and consistent ride quality. Built as a twin-shock setup, it suits riders who want a more composed rear end without losing the traditional cruiser character. The Blackline finish is intended to blend with classic and custom styling.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed around stable damping control and predictable feedback. This STX 36 Blackline pair is aimed at improving comfort and stability through a more refined shock package, while keeping a clean, understated look.

Who this shock is for

  • Sportster XL riders wanting improved rear-end control for everyday road use
  • Custom builds that suit a blacked-out, classic-style shock appearance
  • Owners looking for tuneability to match load, riding style, and road conditions

Shock design & features

This is an STX 36 twin rear shock set with an oil/gas separated design to support consistent damping. The architecture is intended to maintain damping stability over varying conditions while packaging neatly for cruiser fitment.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Before you install

  • Confirm model compatibility for Harley-Davidson Sportster XL and your current rear shock mounting arrangement (rear twin)
  • Set sag and preload for rider weight and typical load before fine-tuning damping
  • Adjust rebound and compression in small steps and test on familiar roads

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are built to be serviceable, supporting routine maintenance to keep damping performance consistent over time. Periodic servicing also allows inspection of wear items and fluid condition.

Öhlins Motorcycle Suspension Warranty

New Öhlins motorcycle shock absorbers, front forks and cartridge kits supplied by Teknik Motorsport are covered by the applicable Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Teknik Motorsport is an authorised Öhlins Service Centre and administers warranty claims in accordance with the Öhlins warranty conditions. The service intervals below form part of the maintenance requirements for Öhlins products supplied and supported by Teknik Motorsport.

This warranty is in addition to the consumer guarantees that apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

  • Registered motorcycles — non-competition road use Five years, subject to correct application, installation, setup and servicing every: 20,000 km or two years, whichever occurs first.
  • Registered motorcycles — adventure and light off-road use Five years, subject to correct application, spring rate, setup and servicing every: 10,000 km or annually, whichever occurs first.
  • Unregistered or competition motorcycles Two years for eligible Öhlins MX and Enduro products, subject to inspection every ten hours and servicing every: 30 operating hours or annually, whichever occurs first.

Compliance with the applicable service interval is a condition of the Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty. Evidence of servicing may be required when a warranty claim is assessed.

A seal leak, loss of damping performance or internal wear arising after the prescribed service interval has been exceeded will be treated as a service or maintenance issue rather than a manufacturing defect.

Warranty repairs

Öhlins suspension products are designed to be serviced and repaired. Where a warranty claim is approved, the normal remedy is repair of the customer’s original suspension unit using genuine Öhlins replacement parts.

Replacement of a complete shock absorber, fork or cartridge kit is not automatic and would normally occur only where the product has suffered a manufacturing failure that cannot reasonably be repaired. This is at Ohlins discretion. 

Öhlins spare parts and service kits

Öhlins spare parts, seals, bushes, service kits, springs, fluids and individual components are covered only against defects present when supplied.

No fixed age-based warranty applies to wear items, service parts or consumable components. Wear, deterioration, contamination, incorrect installation and damage caused by another component are not manufacturing defects.

Öhlins gives the customer a meaningful five-year warranty on products (Units), provided the suspension is maintained as suspension should be maintained. Teknik supports that warranty locally, can inspect the product properly, and can repair it with genuine parts rather than discarding it.
