The Ohlins TTX RT rear shock for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 is built around a twin-tube damping concept aimed at delivering stable, repeatable control under demanding riding. It’s designed to give clear feedback through the chassis so you can manage grip and attitude with confidence. As with all suspension changes, correct installation and setup are key to getting the best from it.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

TTX RT technology is derived from Ohlins racing development, with an emphasis on consistency and fine control. The layout is intended to manage oil flow in a controlled way to help maintain damping feel as conditions and pace change. It’s a purpose-built rear mono shock for the GSX-R 1000 platform.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want a more tunable rear end for track days or performance-focused road riding. It’s also a good fit if you’re chasing more predictable behaviour under braking and on corner exit, where rear damping quality and stability matter most.

Shock design & features

This unit uses the Ohlins TTX twin-tube architecture with oil and gas separated to support consistent damping response. The design focuses on maintaining control through repeated high-load events where shock temperature and aeration can affect feel. It’s built to support accurate chassis attitude control and traction management.

Tuning controls

The shock provides external adjustment for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to shape how the rear responds to load changes and surface conditions. These adjusters are intended to help you balance stability, grip and response without needing internal modifications for routine tuning.

Before you install

• Confirm the shock is fitted to the correct model/variant of Suzuki GSX-R 1000 before installation.
• Set sag and damping to a known baseline after fitting, then adjust methodically based on tyre wear and rider feedback.
• Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware condition, as worn components can mask suspension improvements.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all high-performance shocks, regular servicing helps keep damping consistent and components protected. Routine maintenance intervals should reflect usage intensity (track use typically requires more frequent servicing) and operating conditions.
