The Ohlins STX 36 Street rear shock for Yamaha XSR 155 is built to improve chassis control and feel in everyday street riding. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated damping layout to keep response consistent when the shock is working hard. This unit is configured for rear mono fitment and is intended to deliver stable, predictable feedback across a wide range of road conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street shocks draw from the brand’s racing development, with a focus on controlled damping and clear rider feedback. The goal is not harshness, but consistent support and traction as conditions change. On a lightweight chassis like the XSR 155, that translates to better composure through braking, turn-in and corner exit.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 36 Street series rear shock with a gas-pressurised damper design that separates oil and gas for consistent damping behaviour. The internal layout is designed to reduce fade and maintain stability during extended riding. It is supplied with a spring fitted for the application.

Tuning controls

This shock provides external damping adjustments for both rebound and compression, allowing you to tailor ride control and traction to your roads, tyres and load. Rebound adjustment is used to manage how quickly the shock extends after a bump, while compression adjustment helps set support under braking, acceleration and larger hits.

Who this shock is for

Suited to XSR 155 riders who want a more controlled and confidence-inspiring rear end than a basic OE damper can deliver. It’s a good match for riders who notice instability over mid-corner bumps, want improved consistency on longer rides, or regularly vary load with luggage or a passenger and need more tuning range.

Before you install

• Confirm the motorcycle model and year compatibility for Yamaha XSR 155 rear mono fitment.
• Set sag and baseline damping after installation to suit your weight and typical riding load.
• Check clearances and fastener torque during installation, then re-check after the first few rides.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins units are designed to be serviced and reconditioned to maintain performance over time. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent, especially if the bike is used frequently or in wet/dirty conditions.
