The Ohlins STX 36 twin rear shock is a direct-fit upgrade for classic and modern Kawasaki models using twin shocks. Built around a pressurised, oil/gas separated damping layout, it’s designed to deliver stable, consistent damping feel across varied street and spirited riding conditions. External adjusters let you fine-tune the chassis balance without chasing unnecessary complexity.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is engineered with a focus on controlled damping behaviour and repeatable tuning. The STX platform brings that approach to street-focused twin-shock applications where predictable rear grip and composure matter.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders wanting more control and consistency than ageing OEM twin shocks.
  • Street and weekend riders who value chassis stability through corners and over rough surfaces.
  • Owners setting up a well-sorted road bike where adjustability and serviceability are priorities.

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 twin-shock architecture with oil/gas separation to help maintain damping stability during extended riding.
  • Pressurised design intended to reduce fade and keep response consistent as temperatures change.
  • Designed as a rear twin-shock fitment for the listed Kawasaki applications.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment.
  • Compression damping adjustment.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment to your exact model and year within Kawasaki Z 1000, Z 750 GP, Z900, and Zephyr 1100 ranges.
  • Set sag and baseline adjusters after installation to suit your load, tyres, and riding conditions.
  • Inspect linkage/bushings and mounting hardware condition so the shock can work as intended.

Serviceability / lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is designed to be maintained and rebuilt. Periodic servicing helps preserve damping consistency and seal life, especially if the bike sees regular hard road use or long rides in varying conditions.
