The Ohlins TR965 STX 36 Blackline shock pair is designed as a rear suspension replacement for Triumph Thruxton R and Thruxton RS models. It combines classic Blackline styling with modern damping control to improve chassis stability and ride quality. As a twin-shock rear setup, it suits riders who want more consistent suspension behaviour without changing the character of the bike.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Built around Ohlins’ STX 36 architecture, this Blackline pair focuses on controlled damping and clean integration on modern classic platforms. The finish and form factor are intended to suit factory and custom builds alike while delivering a more composed rear end on the road.

Shock design & features

Base setup (factory preset)

These shocks are delivered with an Ohlins factory baseline to suit the intended application. Fine-tuning rebound, compression and preload lets you tailor support and comfort to your load, tyres and riding style.

Before you install

  • After installation, re-check fastener torque and ensure free movement through the rear suspension travel

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins units are designed to be serviced to maintain damping performance over time. Periodic inspection and scheduled servicing helps keep the oil and seals in good condition and preserves consistent control.
