What 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 absorber, and set the spring preload using the included pin tool.

What is the benefit of a monotube shock design?

A monotube shock design, like the one used in the STX 36, separates the oil and gas within the shock. This helps prevent foaming and cavitation, leading to more consistent damping performance, especially under demanding conditions or high temperatures.

Are there any special tools needed for installation or adjustment?

While basic hand tools are typically needed for installation, the preload adjustment on these shocks is designed to be made with a simple pin tool, which is usually included or readily available. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for specific tool requirements.

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your Harley-Davidson XR 1200's suspension, especially when pushing it on twisty roads or carrying a passenger, upgrading your shocks is a smart move. The Ohlins STX 36 Twin Shock Absorber is a well-regarded option that brings a significant improvement over stock components. This shock absorber is built around a classic monotube design, which is known for its consistent performance and ability to handle heat well, even during spirited riding.

What really sets these shocks apart is the adjustability. You get a rebound adjustment that lets you fine-tune how quickly the shock extends after compression, helping to keep your tires planted. The length adjustment offers another layer of tuning, allowing you to slightly alter your bike's geometry for different riding conditions. Plus, the preload adjustment is straightforward, using a simple pin tool to set the spring tension, which is crucial for maintaining proper ride height and handling, whether you're riding solo or two-up. Inside, you'll find a 36mm piston and hard-anodized, precision CNC-machined components designed for low friction, working with a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge to ensure smooth operation and durability.

This set is sold as a pair, ensuring both sides of your XR 1200 are balanced. The components are built to last, with a focus on performance and reliability that Ohlins is known for. When installing, you'll want to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the best results, especially when setting your adjustments to match your riding style and load.
