The Ohlins TR845 STX 36 Blackline shock pair is designed as a rear twin-shock upgrade for the Triumph Thruxton 1200. Built around Ohlins damping know-how, it aims to improve chassis control and ride quality while keeping a classic appearance. This is a serviceable performance unit intended for riders who want precise, repeatable suspension behaviour on the road.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Part of the STX 36 Blackline family, this set combines modern internal damping architecture with a finish suited to classic and custom builds. It’s a matched pair intended to work together as the rear suspension system.

Shock design & features

  • Rear twin-shock configuration for the Thruxton 1200 platform
  • STX 36 Blackline construction with an oil/gas separated layout for consistent damping
  • Black springs and Blackline styling to suit heritage aesthetics

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment
  • Length adjustment to help fine-tune rear ride height and geometry

Base setup (factory preset)

Ohlins supplies these shocks with a baseline setting intended to be ridden as delivered, then refined to suit rider weight, load and road conditions. A careful setup of sag and rebound is the best starting point before changing geometry.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Triumph Thruxton 1200 and rear twin-shock mounting
  • Inspect existing mounts and hardware condition before installation
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and verify free movement through suspension travel

Serviceability/lifecycle

As an Ohlins performance unit, these shocks are designed to be maintained with periodic oil and wear-part servicing. Regular service helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components over time.
