The Ohlins YA014 is a rear shock absorber developed for Yamaha X-Max 250/300 applications where controlled damping and chassis stability matter. Built around the STX 36 architecture, it is designed to deliver consistent response through varied road and track conditions. This racing-version unit focuses on clear feedback and tunability rather than comfort-biased behaviour.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is engineered to provide predictable damping control and repeatable adjustment. The YA014 follows that approach with a performance-oriented rear shock package suited to riders who want more authority over rear-end behaviour.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders using an X-Max 250/300 for fast road riding or track-focused use
  • Owners wanting improved stability under braking and through corner transitions
  • Anyone needing more tuning range than a standard rear unit provides

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised, oil/gas-separated shock design intended to maintain damping consistency as conditions change. The STX 36 Twin family construction supports controlled fluid flow for stable, repeatable behaviour when riding hard.

Tuning controls

The YA014 provides external adjustment for both rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to tailor the shock response to load, tyre choice, and riding conditions.
