The Ohlins STX 36 twin shock unit for Kawasaki applications is built for riders who want consistent rear-end control and clear feedback from the chassis. As a twin-shock layout, it suits classic and retro-styled frames that rely on matched left and right dampers. It is a gas-pressurised design intended to maintain damping consistency across a wide range of road conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension units are engineered with a focus on damping stability, serviceability and predictable tuning. This STX 36 twin shock follows that approach with a road-focused configuration for modern and classic Kawasaki platforms.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders of twin-shock Kawasaki models looking to improve rear grip and control compared with ageing or tired suspension.
  • Owners who value accurate feel during braking, corner entry and corner exit on spirited road rides.
  • Builders restoring or upgrading Z and Zephyr-based bikes who want a proven Ohlins twin-shock format.

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 twin-shock architecture for rear twin-shock fitment.
  • Gas-pressurised damping system to help keep performance consistent.
  • Designed as a matched rear pair for left/right installation.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment.

Before you install

  • Confirm model compatibility for Kawasaki Z 1000, Z 750 GP, Z900 and Zephyr 1100 before fitting.
  • Plan a setup check after installation to ensure the bike is balanced front-to-rear for your load and riding use.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins units are designed to be maintained. Periodic servicing helps preserve damping consistency and keeps adjusters operating as intended over time.
