The Ohlins STX 36 Blackline front shock for Vespa Sprint 150 ABS is built to improve ride control and consistency without losing the scooter’s natural feel. It’s designed as a compact, high-quality replacement unit with a focus on damping stability and clean installation. Adjustment is provided so you can tune the suspension to your load, road conditions and preference.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension components are developed with a strong engineering focus on predictable damping behaviour and durability. This unit follows that approach in a scooter-specific package aimed at real-world grip, comfort and braking stability.

Who this shock is for

  • Vespa Sprint 150 ABS riders wanting a more controlled front end over bumps and uneven surfaces
  • Commuters and weekend riders looking to tune feel for solo riding, luggage or different road quality
  • Owners building a tidy “blackline” aesthetic without compromising suspension performance

Shock design & features

This is an STX 36-series front shock with Ohlins’ modern damping architecture packaged for scooter fitment. The design uses an internal gas/oil separation layout to maintain consistent damping and reduce fade during repeated impacts.

Tuning controls

  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and support for rider/load
  • Compression damping adjustment to manage support under braking and sharp-edge compliance
  • Rebound damping adjustment to control return speed and front-end stability

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for Vespa Sprint 150 ABS and that all mounting hardware is in good condition
  • Set spring preload first, then refine rebound and compression to suit your tyres, load and roads
  • If you’re changing other chassis parts (tyres, fork bushes, brake components), tune after those changes

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is intended to be maintained over its working life with periodic inspection and servicing to keep damping performance consistent. Regular servicing is especially important if the scooter is used daily, in wet conditions, or on rough roads.
