The Ohlins STX 36 Street rear shock is built for riders who want predictable damping and consistent chassis control in everyday street use. Based on Ohlins race-derived design principles, it’s intended to improve stability, grip feel and feedback without making the bike harsh. This unit is supplied as a rear mono shock for the Yamaha MT 15.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX 36 Street products are developed to bring controlled damping and dependable ride quality to road motorcycles. The focus is on maintaining tyre contact and composure through braking, turning and acceleration. It’s a practical upgrade path when you want more control than a basic OE shock can provide.

Who this shock is for

Suited to MT 15 riders who want a more settled rear end for commuting, weekend rides and brisk back-road use. It’s also a good match if you’re chasing clearer feedback when you load the rear tyre on corner exit. If you regularly carry a passenger or luggage, proper setup becomes even more important.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 36 Street rear mono shock with an internal damping layout designed for consistent response and stability. It uses a gas-pressurised system to help reduce foaming and maintain damping consistency as conditions change. The valving is aimed at improving traction and control during aggressive riding and braking transitions.

Tuning controls

This shock provides external adjustment for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to tailor the response to your tyres, riding style and typical road surface. It also includes spring preload adjustment to set the correct ride height and sag for the rider and load.

Before you install

Check that your linkage and swingarm bearings are smooth and correctly greased, as worn hardware can mask the benefits of a quality shock. After installation, set sag and then fine-tune damping in small steps, making one change at a time. If the bike is used across very different conditions, keep notes so you can return to a known good baseline.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance dampers, this unit is designed to be serviced rather than replaced when performance drops off. Periodic inspection and oil/gas service will help maintain consistent damping and extend component life, especially if the bike sees wet weather or frequent hard use.

Öhlins Motorcycle Suspension Warranty

New Öhlins motorcycle shock absorbers, front forks and cartridge kits supplied by Teknik Motorsport are covered by the applicable Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Teknik Motorsport is an authorised Öhlins Service Centre and administers warranty claims in accordance with the Öhlins warranty conditions. The service intervals below form part of the maintenance requirements for Öhlins products supplied and supported by Teknik Motorsport.

This warranty is in addition to the consumer guarantees that apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

  • Registered motorcycles — non-competition road use Five years, subject to correct application, installation, setup and servicing every: 20,000 km or two years, whichever occurs first.
  • Registered motorcycles — adventure and light off-road use Five years, subject to correct application, spring rate, setup and servicing every: 10,000 km or annually, whichever occurs first.
  • Unregistered or competition motorcycles Two years for eligible Öhlins MX and Enduro products, subject to inspection every ten hours and servicing every: 30 operating hours or annually, whichever occurs first.

Compliance with the applicable service interval is a condition of the Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty. Evidence of servicing may be required when a warranty claim is assessed.

A seal leak, loss of damping performance or internal wear arising after the prescribed service interval has been exceeded will be treated as a service or maintenance issue rather than a manufacturing defect.

Warranty repairs

Öhlins suspension products are designed to be serviced and repaired. Where a warranty claim is approved, the normal remedy is repair of the customer’s original suspension unit using genuine Öhlins replacement parts.

Replacement of a complete shock absorber, fork or cartridge kit is not automatic and would normally occur only where the product has suffered a manufacturing failure that cannot reasonably be repaired. This is at Ohlins discretion. 

Öhlins spare parts and service kits

Öhlins spare parts, seals, bushes, service kits, springs, fluids and individual components are covered only against defects present when supplied.

No fixed age-based warranty applies to wear items, service parts or consumable components. Wear, deterioration, contamination, incorrect installation and damage caused by another component are not manufacturing defects.

Öhlins gives the customer a meaningful five-year warranty on products (Units), provided the suspension is maintained as suspension should be maintained. Teknik supports that warranty locally, can inspect the product properly, and can repair it with genuine parts rather than discarding it.
