The Ohlins KA249 STX 36 twin rear shock set for the Kawasaki ZRX 1200 is built to deliver controlled, consistent damping for road and spirited riding. The STX architecture uses a separated oil and gas design to maintain stability through changing loads and temperatures. It is supplied as a rear twin-shock arrangement and is intended to be tuned to suit rider weight and usage.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride
