The Ohlins YA952 STX 36 Twin rear shock set is built for the Yamaha SR 500, delivering consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback for road riding. Developed from Ohlins racing experience, it is intended to improve traction and stability as conditions and pace change. The design uses a gas-pressurised damping system to help maintain performance during longer rides.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX twin shocks are engineered to give predictable support and controlled response, with valving aimed at improving rear grip and stability. The YA952 package is designed as a rear twin-shock replacement solution for the SR 500.

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 Twin rear shock architecture for twin-shock applications
  • Gas-pressurised damping system for consistent damping under sustained use
  • Race-developed internal valving approach focused on traction and control

Tuning controls

This unit provides adjustment for compression and rebound damping, allowing you to balance comfort, support and rear-tyre grip for your load, tyres and road conditions.

Who this shock is for

  • Yamaha SR 500 riders wanting improved control and stability from the rear suspension
  • Riders who value tuneability via separate compression and rebound adjustment
  • Road use where consistent damping and feedback are priorities

Before you install

Confirm fitment for your SR 500 model and year, and inspect mounting hardware and bushings during installation. After fitting, set sag and baseline damping to suit your weight and typical riding conditions.
