The Ohlins SU154 STX 36 twin rear shock set is designed as a direct replacement for selected Suzuki GS and GSX models, including the Katana and RE-5. Built around Ohlins STX twin-shock architecture, it focuses on controlled damping response and consistent ride behaviour. This unit uses a gas-pressurised damping system to help maintain stability as conditions and temperatures change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins race-derived damping principles, the STX twin-shock design aims to deliver predictable support and clear chassis feedback. It is intended for riders who want a more controlled rear end feel without compromising day-to-day usability on the road.

Who this shock is for

  • Owners restoring or upgrading classic Suzuki GS/GSX twin-shock platforms who want modern damping control
  • Riders looking for improved stability and traction feel in corners and under acceleration
  • Anyone wanting a purpose-built rear twin-shock solution rather than adapting universal-fit parts

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 twin-shock rear configuration for twin-shock swingarm layouts
  • Gas-pressurised damping design (oil/gas pressurised) intended to reduce fade and keep damping consistent
  • Separate damping circuits to support controlled response through a range of road inputs

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Before you install

This kit is intended as a direct-fit rear replacement for Suzuki GS 1000 E, GS 1000 H, GS 1000 L, GS 1000 S, GSX 1100, GSX 1100 Katana, and RE-5 applications listed. Confirm model and year fitment before installation, and follow correct torque procedures during assembly.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As an Ohlins unit, it is designed to be serviced and maintained over its operating life. Periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent and protects internal components as the oil and seals age.
