The Ohlins TR626 STX 36 twin shock kit is a rear suspension upgrade for Triumph Bonneville and Thruxton 900 models. Built around the STX architecture, it’s designed to deliver consistent damping control and clearer feedback at the rear wheel. This is a twin-shock layout intended for street-focused performance riding and confident handling.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road suspension is developed from the same engineering approach used in racing, then tuned for real-world ride quality and control. The aim is predictable chassis behaviour, stable grip, and repeatable adjustment changes. This unit is built as a matched pair for twin-shock rear applications.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want more support and control than a basic OE twin-shock setup, particularly when pushing on through corners or riding with a more assertive pace. It’s also a good fit if you value adjustability to tailor the rear of the bike to your roads and riding style.

Shock design & features

This STX 36 twin shock design uses a pressurised damping system with separated oil and gas to help maintain damping consistency as conditions change. The internal layout is intended to improve control and stability compared with non-pressurised or simpler designs.

Tuning controls

This model provides external adjustment for rebound damping and spring preload, allowing you to tune rear-wheel control and ride height balance to suit rider load and road conditions. The adjusters are intended to make changes straightforward and repeatable during setup.

Base setup (factory preset)

The shocks are supplied with an Ohlins baseline setting, intended as a starting point for general street use. From there, fine-tuning rebound and preload can be used to match rider weight, tyre choice, and how the bike is being ridden.

Before you install

Confirm fitment for the Triumph Bonneville and Thruxton 900 applications listed, and inspect linkage and mounting hardware condition before installation. After fitting, set sag via preload first, then use rebound adjustment to control return speed and stability.

Öhlins Motorcycle Suspension Warranty

New Öhlins motorcycle shock absorbers, front forks and cartridge kits supplied by Teknik Motorsport are covered by the applicable Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Teknik Motorsport is an authorised Öhlins Service Centre and administers warranty claims in accordance with the Öhlins warranty conditions. The service intervals below form part of the maintenance requirements for Öhlins products supplied and supported by Teknik Motorsport.

This warranty is in addition to the consumer guarantees that apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

  • Registered motorcycles — non-competition road use Five years, subject to correct application, installation, setup and servicing every: 20,000 km or two years, whichever occurs first.
  • Registered motorcycles — adventure and light off-road use Five years, subject to correct application, spring rate, setup and servicing every: 10,000 km or annually, whichever occurs first.
  • Unregistered or competition motorcycles Two years for eligible Öhlins MX and Enduro products, subject to inspection every ten hours and servicing every: 30 operating hours or annually, whichever occurs first.

Compliance with the applicable service interval is a condition of the Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty. Evidence of servicing may be required when a warranty claim is assessed.

A seal leak, loss of damping performance or internal wear arising after the prescribed service interval has been exceeded will be treated as a service or maintenance issue rather than a manufacturing defect.

Warranty repairs

Öhlins suspension products are designed to be serviced and repaired. Where a warranty claim is approved, the normal remedy is repair of the customer’s original suspension unit using genuine Öhlins replacement parts.

Replacement of a complete shock absorber, fork or cartridge kit is not automatic and would normally occur only where the product has suffered a manufacturing failure that cannot reasonably be repaired. This is at Ohlins discretion. 

Öhlins spare parts and service kits

Öhlins spare parts, seals, bushes, service kits, springs, fluids and individual components are covered only against defects present when supplied.

No fixed age-based warranty applies to wear items, service parts or consumable components. Wear, deterioration, contamination, incorrect installation and damage caused by another component are not manufacturing defects.

Öhlins gives the customer a meaningful five-year warranty on products (Units), provided the suspension is maintained as suspension should be maintained. Teknik supports that warranty locally, can inspect the product properly, and can repair it with genuine parts rather than discarding it.
