The Ohlins MG441 STX 36 Twin rear shocks are built for classic Moto Guzzi twin-shock chassis where stability, grip and consistent damping matter. Developed from Ohlins road and race suspension experience, this setup focuses on controlled wheel movement and predictable response. It suits riders wanting a quality replacement with proper tuning range for real-world riding.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins twin shocks are designed as matched rear units to support the chassis under braking, cornering and acceleration. The STX 36 Twin platform is intended to deliver repeatable damping behaviour over long rides, with a focus on feel and control rather than harshness.

Who this shock is for

For Moto Guzzi 1000 SP II, 850 T5 and Le Mans III 850 owners wanting a rear suspension refresh with modern damping quality. Ideal if your current shocks are worn, inconsistent, or lacking adjustability, and you want a more controlled rear end without compromising ride comfort.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised twin-shock design to help maintain damping consistency during extended use. The construction is aimed at stable performance and reduced fade, with Ohlins valving developed to provide predictable traction and chassis support.

Tuning controls

Damping adjustment is provided for both compression and rebound, allowing you to tune how the rear responds to bumps and to weight transfer from braking and throttle inputs. Spring preload adjustment is used to set ride height and sag to suit rider load and intended use.

Before you install

• Confirm fitment for your exact Moto Guzzi model and year listed: 1000 SP II, 850 T5, Le Mans III 850.
• Set sag and preload first, then use compression and rebound adjustments to fine-tune comfort, grip and stability.
• Inspect linkage/arm pivots and mounting hardware condition so the shocks can work as intended.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins units are designed to be serviced to maintain damping performance over time. Periodic inspection and servicing helps keep the gas-pressurised damping consistent and extends the working life of the shocks.
