The Ohlins STX 36 twin shock for the Kawasaki ZRX 1200 is built for riders who want consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback on the road. Based on Ohlins racing development, it focuses on predictable grip and stability across changing surfaces and loads. This unit uses a pressurised gas design to help maintain damping consistency during extended riding.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension development is grounded in repeatable damping behaviour and tuneability. The STX 36 twin shock format suits classic twin-shock chassis layouts while bringing modern internal damping control to the rear end.

Who this shock is for

  • ZRX 1200 owners chasing improved rear stability and traction for spirited street riding
  • Riders who want a higher level of tuneability than a basic twin shock
  • Anyone looking to refine comfort and control without changing the character of the bike

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 twin-shock architecture developed from Ohlins performance applications
  • Pressurised gas damping system designed to reduce fade and keep behaviour consistent
  • Separate damping circuits for compression and rebound to support more precise tuning

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Before you install

  • Confirm clearance around the twin shocks, chain run, and rear brake components during full suspension travel
  • Set sag and baseline damping after installation before making fine changes
  • If you change load (luggage or pillion), revisit preload and damping to suit

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance suspension, this shock is designed to be serviced to keep damping consistent over time. Regular inspection for leaks, bushing wear, and changes in feel will help determine when a refresh is due.
