The Ohlins STX 36 twin rear shock set for the Kawasaki ZRX 1100 is built to deliver consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback for road riding. The design focuses on stability, traction and predictability across changing conditions. It suits riders who want adjustability without compromising durability and service support.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins twin shocks are engineered with proven internal architecture and quality control to suit performance road bikes. The STX platform is designed to provide controlled movement through the stroke and reliable temperature management in real-world use.

Shock design & features

  • Twin rear shock layout to suit the ZRX 1100’s chassis and mounting arrangement.
  • Oil/gas separated, gas-pressurised damping system for consistent behaviour during longer rides.
  • STX 36 family construction aimed at stable damping response and good rear-tyre contact.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to control how quickly the rear returns after bumps and load changes.
  • Compression damping adjustment to manage support under braking, corner entry and larger impacts.
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and balance for rider weight and load.

Base setup (factory preset)

This unit is supplied with an Ohlins baseline tune intended to work as a starting point for the ZRX 1100. From there, rebound, compression and preload can be adjusted to match tyres, road surface and rider preference.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Kawasaki ZRX 1100 and check clearance around exhaust, chain line and rear guard at full movement.
  • Inspect linkage and mounting hardware condition so the shocks can work without stiction or play.
  • After installation, set sag and balance front-to-rear before fine-tuning damping.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Regular inspection and periodic servicing help keep damping consistent and protect internal components, especially if the bike is used in wet or harsh conditions.
