The Ohlins KA702 is a rear STX 36 twin shock set for the Kawasaki ZRX 1100, built around the same core damping architecture used across Ohlins street performance units. It’s aimed at improving rear wheel control and chassis stability under braking, corner entry and drive. The design focuses on consistent damping behaviour and practical adjustability for road riding.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins STX twin shocks are developed to deliver controlled damping and predictable feel with a wide tuning range. For the ZRX 1100 platform, this kit is intended as a complete rear replacement solution where balance and traction matter.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders restoring or upgrading the rear suspension on a Kawasaki ZRX 1100.
  • Owners chasing clearer feedback and better control on spirited road rides.
  • Riders who want external adjustments to suit load, tyres and road conditions.

Shock design & features

This STX 36 twin shock configuration uses a gas-pressurised monotube layout with oil and gas separated to help maintain damping consistency during extended use. The unit is built as a twin shock rear arrangement and supplied with the specified fitted spring.

Tuning controls

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

Before you install

  • Confirm the application is for Kawasaki ZRX 1100 and rear twin shock fitment.
  • Inspect linkage/mount hardware and swingarm bearings so the new shocks can work as intended.
  • After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression to match your tyres and typical load.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviceable. Regular oil and seal servicing helps preserve damping quality over time, particularly if the bike sees frequent spirited riding or rough road use.
