The Ohlins TTX RT rear shock for the Kawasaki ZX-10R is built around the TTX twin-tube damping concept for consistent control across a wide range of track and fast-road conditions. It’s intended as a direct-fit replacement unit that focuses on stability, feel and repeatable behaviour as temperatures and pace rise. Setup changes are made externally, making it practical to tune between sessions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

TTX RT shocks are derived from Ohlins racing suspension architecture, with an emphasis on controlled damping behaviour and clear feedback at the tyre contact patch. The twin-tube layout is designed to manage pressure and flow in a stable way, supporting predictable chassis attitude through braking, turn-in and corner exit.

Who this shock is for

Suited to ZX-10R riders who prioritise chassis control and want the ability to tune the rear of the bike for trackdays, racing, or aggressive road riding. It’s a good match for riders chasing improved confidence at lean and under load, rather than simply a change in ride height or spring rate alone.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated rear mono shock using Ohlins TTX twin-tube damping. The separated gas arrangement helps maintain damping consistency during longer runs, and the overall design is intended to reduce fade and keep response stable as conditions change.

Tuning controls

The KA788 provides external adjustment for rebound damping and compression damping, along with a threaded spring preload adjuster. This allows you to balance support and grip, then refine behaviour for braking stability, mid-corner control and drive while keeping changes straightforward and repeatable.

Before you install

This unit is designed as a direct replacement rear shock for the Kawasaki ZX-10R. Confirm correct fitment for your model year and linkage, check clearance around the reservoir/adjusters, and set sag before fine-tuning damping. For best results, start from the factory baseline and change one variable at a time.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance dampers, regular servicing helps maintain consistency and component life. Service intervals depend on use, with track work typically requiring more frequent attention than road riding.
