The Ohlins STX 36 twin rear shocks for the Suzuki GSX 400 S are built to improve chassis control and feedback in real-world road riding. They are engineered to deliver consistent damping performance and clearer feel through corners without changing the character of the bike. This is a focused suspension upgrade for riders who value stability, traction and predictable behaviour.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins twin shocks combine proven damping architecture with motorcycle-specific fitment to suit classic and modern twin-shock applications. The aim is controlled wheel movement and stable geometry so the bike remains composed across a wide range of road surfaces.

Who this shock is for

Suited to GSX 400 S riders looking for a more planted rear end, improved mid-corner support and better control when accelerating out of turns. It is also a sensible choice if your current shocks are worn or inconsistent and you want a serviceable replacement designed for long-term use.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised damper design intended to maintain damping consistency during demanding use. As a twin-shock rear arrangement, it supports balanced rear suspension behaviour and improved stability while keeping the installation straightforward for twin-shock chassis layouts.

Tuning controls

Damping is externally adjustable for rebound, allowing you to tune how quickly the rear returns after a bump or weight transfer. Spring preload is adjustable to help set ride height and sag to suit rider weight and intended use.

Before you install

• Check overall fitment and clearance for the Suzuki GSX 400 S rear end, including any aftermarket exhausts or accessories.
• Set sag and preload before fine-tuning rebound, and make changes one at a time.
• Inspect linkage, swingarm bearings and mounting hardware condition so the new shocks can perform as intended.

Serviceability/lifecycle

These Ohlins shocks are designed to be maintained, with periodic servicing helping preserve damping performance over time. Regular inspection and service intervals should be based on usage conditions and riding intensity.
