The Ohlins STX 36 twin rear shock set is a direct-fit upgrade for selected Kawasaki models, aimed at improving chassis control and consistency on the road. Built around Ohlins damping know-how, it focuses on predictable behaviour through corners, braking and acceleration. This is a twin-shock rear arrangement intended for riders who want a more controlled, tuneable rear end without unnecessary complexity.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins motorsport experience, this STX 36 twin-shock package is designed to deliver stable damping performance and clearer feedback at the rear tyre. It is suited to riders who value repeatable handling and a suspension feel that can be set up to match load, tyres and riding style.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders restoring or upgrading a twin-shock Kawasaki and wanting modern damping control
  • Street riders who want improved stability, traction feel and confidence over mixed road surfaces
  • Owners who need a quality, serviceable shock set with supported tuning options

Shock design & features

  • Twin rear shock configuration for classic twin-shock chassis layouts
  • Gas-pressurised damping architecture to help maintain damping consistency as conditions change
  • Ohlins valving approach focused on controlled wheel movement and predictable response

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment

Before you install

  • Confirm your exact model and year against the application list to ensure correct fitment
  • Set sag and rebound to suit rider weight and typical load, then fine-tune after a short test ride
  • Inspect mounting hardware and bushes during installation and replace worn components as needed

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviceable, allowing damping performance to be maintained over time with periodic inspection and servicing. Regular servicing is especially important for older twin-shock platforms where leverage ratios and ride heights may have been altered by prior modifications.
