Built around Ohlins scooter shock architecture, it’s designed to deliver consistent damping behaviour across everyday road use and more demanding riding. As a twin rear setup, it suits riders wanting a suspension package that can be tuned to preference without compromising reliability.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins scooter suspension focuses on predictable damping and clear chassis feedback. This STX 36 rear pair is intended to support stable behaviour under load changes, helping the scooter remain settled through corners and braking inputs.
