The Ohlins STX 36 Blackline rear shock pair is built for riders who want modern damping performance in a classic twin-shock format. Designed for rear applications on Kawasaki universal fitments, it delivers controlled support and a more composed feel across mixed road surfaces. Adjustment is provided so you can tune the response to suit your bike setup and riding conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins bring proven damping know-how to a twin-shock package that suits vintage-inspired, custom and classic street bikes. The Blackline finish is intended to complement traditional styling while keeping the internals focused on consistent control.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders running twin rear shocks who want improved stability and chassis control on the street
  • Builders aiming to keep a classic look without accepting outdated suspension behaviour
  • Owners who prefer tuneability for load, road quality and riding style changes

Shock design & features

This is a twin rear shock pair using a monotube-style architecture with separated oil and gas for more stable damping behaviour during use. The STX 36 platform is engineered to provide consistent performance and predictable response through the stroke, with the Blackline exterior matched to the supplied black springs.

Tuning controls

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

Before you install

  • Confirm the application and mounting compatibility for your Kawasaki universal setup before fitting
  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit your tyres, load and road conditions
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances through full suspension movement

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviceable. Periodic oil and seal servicing helps maintain damping consistency and prolongs component life, especially for bikes used regularly or on rougher roads.
