The Ohlins STX 36 twin shock set for the Triumph Scrambler 900 and Thruxton 900 is built to deliver controlled rear suspension behaviour with a clear, consistent feel. Designed as a rear twin-shock replacement, it focuses on predictable damping response and repeatable adjustment. It’s suited to riders who want a more tunable setup without changing the character of the bike.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX twin shocks carry Ohlins damping know-how into a compact, robust street package. The design targets stability and traction by keeping damping consistent through changing road conditions and sustained riding.

Who this shock is for

  • Triumph Scrambler 900 and Thruxton 900 owners wanting improved chassis control from the rear.
  • Riders who carry varying loads or ride mixed road surfaces and want damping they can tune.
  • Anyone looking for a quality rear twin-shock solution that remains serviceable long term.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated twin-shock design intended to maintain consistent damping performance. As a rear twin setup, it’s designed to replace the original units while improving control and feel at the back of the bike.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping to tailor how quickly the rear returns after compression. A ride-height adjuster is also included, allowing geometry changes to suit rider preference and setup goals.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your specific Scrambler 900 or Thruxton 900 year/model variant before installation.
  • Set sag and rebound to suit your weight and typical load; correct baseline setup is key to getting the benefit of the damper.
  • Re-check fastener torque and clearances after the first rides.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, the shocks are designed to be maintained rather than treated as disposable. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and extends component life, particularly if the bike sees regular use or harsh conditions.
