The Ohlins KA204 STX 36 Twin is a rear twin-shock unit designed to improve chassis control and consistency on compatible Kawasaki models. Built around Ohlins street performance architecture, it targets predictable grip and clear feedback across mixed road conditions. This is a complete rear suspension solution intended for riders who want a more controlled and tuneable feel than standard equipment.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience and adapted for street use, this twin-shock package focuses on stable damping behaviour and consistent response. The STX 36 Twin family is commonly chosen where a quality matched pair of rear dampers is required.

Shock design & features

  • Rear twin-shock configuration to suit motorcycles that use dual rear dampers
  • Gas-pressurised damping system to support consistency during extended use
  • Race-derived internal valving approach aimed at improving feel and traction

Tuning controls

This unit provides external adjustment for compression and rebound damping, allowing you to tailor support, comfort and stability to your load, tyres and riding conditions.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders upgrading older twin-shock Kawasaki platforms who want more controlled damping and clearer feedback
  • Street riders who value stability under braking and predictable behaviour through corners
  • Owners who want a more tuneable rear end for changes in tyres, road surface, or carrying a passenger

Before you install

Confirm fitment for your exact model and year within the Kawasaki Z and Zephyr applications listed for KA204. After installation, set sag and re-check fasteners and clearances with the bike on the ground, then fine-tune damping from there.
