The Ohlins NC416 STX 36 twin rear shock package is built for the Norton Commando where predictable damping and consistent control matter. It uses an oil/gas separated damping design to maintain stable performance as conditions change. The result is a rear suspension feel that stays composed and communicative across a wide range of road riding.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins suspension know-how, this STX 36 twin setup focuses on controlled movement and clear feedback at the rear wheel. It is intended to support confident cornering and braking behaviour without making the bike feel harsh.
