What kind of adjustments can I make with these Ohlins shocks?

These Ohlins STX 36 shocks offer several adjustment points. You can adjust the rebound damping to control how quickly the shock extends, adjust the overall length of the shock by up to half an inch, and adjust the spring preload using the included pin tool.

What makes the monotube design beneficial?

The monotube design, combined with a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge and a divided piston, helps maintain consistent damping performance. This means the shocks can handle repeated use and varying conditions without significant fade, providing more reliable control.

Are there different spring rate options available?

Yes, these shocks are available with multiple spring rate options. This allows you to choose a spring that best matches your riding weight, carrying load, and preferred riding style for optimal performance and comfort.

Product Details

The 36mm monotube design of these Ohlins STX 36 shocks is a solid starting point for understanding the performance they offer your Harley-Davidson Sportster XL. This isn't just about looks; the monotube construction, with its high-pressure nitrogen gas charge and divided piston, helps keep the damping consistent, even when you're pushing the bike hard or riding on rougher roads. You'll notice improved control and a more planted feel.

What really sets these shocks apart is the adjustability. You get rebound adjustment to fine-tune how quickly the shock extends after compression, which is crucial for managing weight transfer and keeping the tires in contact with the pavement. Plus, they're length adjustable by up to half an inch, allowing you to make subtle changes to your bike's geometry for handling preferences. The preload is easily adjusted using the included pin tool, and you can select from various spring rates to match your riding style and load. All the internal components are hard anodized and precision CNC-machined, and the low-friction shaft and seal head design further contribute to smooth operation and durability.

This pair of shocks is designed to fit 2004 through 2020 Harley-Davidson Sportster XL models. They come as a set, ready to replace your stock units and give your Sportster a significant upgrade in ride quality and adjustability. Make sure to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on setting up your new shocks.
