The Ohlins TR923 STX 36 is a rear twin-shock unit developed for the Triumph Speed Twin. It’s built around a gas-pressurised damping layout to maintain consistent control as conditions and temperatures change. Tuning is straightforward, with external adjusters to help tailor feel, support and grip to your riding and load.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street shock absorbers draw on proven damping architecture and production repeatability. The focus is predictable behaviour through the stroke, so the chassis stays composed when the pace lifts. This unit is intended as a purpose-built replacement for the standard rear twin shocks.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want more control and consistency from the rear of the Triumph Speed Twin. It’s a practical choice for spirited road use where improved stability and feedback matter, and for riders who want a shock that can be tuned to match tyres, riding style and typical loads.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 36 Twin rear shock configuration with a pressurised gas damping system (oil and gas separated). The aim is stable damping behaviour and reduced risk of fade compared with non-pressurised designs. As a twin-shock fitment, it’s designed to work as a matched pair on the rear of the bike.

Tuning controls

The TR923 provides external rebound damping adjustment and compression damping adjustment, allowing you to balance comfort, grip and chassis support. Spring preload adjustment is also included to set ride height and sag for your rider weight and typical luggage or passenger use.

Before you install

• Confirm you are fitting to a Triumph Speed Twin with rear twin-shock mounting.
• Set spring preload to achieve appropriate sag before evaluating damping changes.
• Make rebound and compression adjustments one change at a time and test on familiar roads.
• After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances through suspension travel.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced, with maintenance intervals guided by use and operating conditions. Regular servicing helps keep damping performance consistent and protects internal components over the long term.
