The Ohlins STX 36 twin shock for the Yamaha SR 500 is built to deliver controlled damping and clear chassis feedback for road riding. This unit uses a gas-pressurised design to help maintain damping consistency as conditions and pace change. It’s intended as a direct-fit rear twin-shock replacement for riders who want a more tunable and composed rear end.
