The Ohlins KT888 TTX RT rear shock is built for KTM RC8 and RC8R riders who want clearer chassis feedback and more consistent damping control. Based on Ohlins race-derived architecture, it’s designed to support stable behaviour under load changes and deliver predictable grip. This is a rear mono shock intended for performance road and track use where repeatability matters.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins TTX RT shocks use a twin-tube layout aimed at maintaining consistent damping characteristics through a wide range of operating conditions. The design focuses on keeping the damping response stable and controllable as pace and temperatures rise.

Who this shock is for

  • KTM RC8/RC8R owners upgrading from a standard rear shock for improved control and feel
  • Riders who regularly tune suspension to suit tyres, track surfaces, and riding style
  • Track day and fast-road riders chasing more predictable traction and stability

Shock design & features

This shock uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design rather than an emulsion layout. The TTX RT architecture is intended to support consistent damping behaviour and strong feedback, particularly during hard braking and corner-exit acceleration.

Tuning controls

The KT888 provides external adjustment for compression damping and rebound damping, allowing you to balance support, grip, and recovery speed to match your setup. These controls are intended to make practical changes without disassembling the shock.

Before you install

Confirm fitment for your specific KTM RC8/RC8R model and year before installation. A correct baseline depends on your spring choice and intended use, and a post-install check of sag and geometry is recommended to ensure the shock works as intended.
