Ohlins 16-20 Harley-Davidson Sportster XL1200X Forty-Eight STX 36 Twin Shock Absorber

The 36mm piston in these Ohlins STX 36 twin shocks is hard anodized and precision CNC-machined, setting a high standard for performance and durability right from the start. These shocks are built for your 2016-2020 Harley-Davidson Sportster XL1200X Forty-Eight, offering a significant upgrade over stock suspension. The monotube design, with its divided piston, works with a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge to ensure consistent damping performance, even when you're pushing your bike hard on longer rides or over rougher roads. You'll notice improved control and a more comfortable ride because the damping stays effective.

You get a lot of tuning capability with these shocks. The rebound adjustment lets you fine-tune how quickly the shock extends after being compressed, which is key for managing weight transfer and keeping the tires planted. Plus, they offer 1/2 inch of length adjustment, allowing you to slightly alter your bike's geometry for different riding conditions or preferences. Adjusting the spring preload is straightforward, using the included pin tool to set the initial tension for your weight and riding style. This level of adjustability means you can really dial in the suspension to feel exactly how you want it.

These shocks are sold as a pair and feature a low-friction shaft and seal head design, which contributes to smooth operation and responsiveness. The quality of the components and the thoughtful design mean you're investing in suspension that will perform reliably and enhance your riding experience for years to come.
