The Ohlins STX 36 Twin rear shock is built for riders who want more consistent damping control and clearer chassis feedback from their Kawasaki GPZ 600 R. It is designed as a dedicated street-fitment unit with Ohlins valving and springing to suit the application. The focus is stability, traction and predictability across a wide range of real-world riding conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a strong engineering focus on damping control, temperature stability and repeatable performance. The STX 36 Twin family follows this approach with a compact rear-shock architecture intended to deliver confidence and control without compromising day-to-day usability.

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 Twin rear shock design for the GPZ 600 R fitment
  • Gas-pressurised damping system for consistent performance during longer or harder rides
  • Valving aimed at improving traction and composure through acceleration and braking

Tuning controls

This rear shock provides external damping adjustment for both compression and rebound, allowing you to tailor support, grip and ride control to tyres, load and road conditions.

Base setup (factory preset)

The unit is supplied with an Ohlins factory baseline setup intended to be a sensible starting point for the model application. Fine-tuning is typically done after checking sag and confirming the bike’s intended load and riding style.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment to the Kawasaki GPZ 600 R and check mounting hardware condition before installation
  • Set sag and damping from the supplied baseline once installed
  • Inspect linkages/bushes and ensure the rear end moves freely to get the best from the shock
