The Ohlins SU145 STX 36 twin rear shocks are built for classic Suzuki models that benefit from modern damping control and stable chassis behaviour. Designed as a rear twin-shock replacement, this setup focuses on predictable grip and consistent support through corners and under braking. It suits riders who want a tunable, serviceable suspension unit rather than a sealed, non-adjustable alternative.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins twin shocks in the STX 36 family carry proven design principles into a straightforward rear upgrade for road-going and performance-oriented builds. The aim is controlled damping with repeatable adjustment and long-term rebuildability.

Who this shock is for

• Riders restoring or upgrading a Suzuki GS/GSX platform who want improved control from a quality twin-shock package
• Owners chasing more stability and confidence from the rear end without changing the bike’s overall character
• Anyone who wants external adjustments to tailor ride feel to load, tyres and riding style

Shock design & features

This model uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to maintain damping consistency during use. As an STX 36 twin-shock assembly, it is intended to replace the standard rear units while retaining a conventional twin-shock layout.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to balance support and comfort to suit your riding and conditions. Spring preload adjustment is also included to set ride height and sag for different rider weights and loading.

Before you install

This is a rear twin-shock fitment intended for Suzuki GS 1000 E, GS 1000 H, GS 1000 L, GS 1000 S, GSX 1100, GSX 1100 Katana, and RE-5 applications as listed. Confirm model compatibility and clearances on your specific bike before installation, particularly if your motorcycle has been modified.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced and revalved, which helps keep performance consistent over the life of the product. Periodic maintenance also allows the setup to be refreshed to match future changes such as tyres, loads or riding pace.
