The Ohlins STX 36 Supersport rear shock for the Kawasaki Ninja 250(R) is engineered to deliver controlled damping and consistent chassis support in demanding street and supersport riding. Built around Ohlins race-derived damping architecture, it focuses on predictable grip and clear feedback. This unit suits riders who want a higher-quality rear suspension response than a standard shock can offer.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins Supersport shocks are developed with a strong focus on stable damping behaviour and repeatable performance. The STX 36 platform is intended to improve how the bike settles under load changes and maintains traction through corners.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders chasing more consistent rear-end control for sporty street riding
  • Track day riders wanting a dedicated Ohlins rear shock upgrade
  • Owners looking to tune the bike’s balance without changing the overall character of the Ninja 250(R)

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated monotube rear shock design aimed at maintaining damping consistency during hard use. The STX 36 Supersport construction is designed to provide stable response and improved traction feel compared with basic OE-style units.

Tuning controls

This shock includes rebound damping adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune how quickly the rear suspension extends after being compressed. Rebound control is useful for managing stability on corner exit and keeping the tyre loaded over bumps and surface changes.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact Kawasaki Ninja 250(R) model and year before installation
  • Set sag correctly to suit rider weight and intended use
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances and ensure the linkage moves freely through its travel
