Öhlins has built racing suspension in Sweden since 1976 and holds championships across MotoGP, World Superbike and off-road. Its Harley-Davidson touring and Softail shocks bring genuine road-race damping technology to bikes that left the factory heavily compromised on suspension travel and control.
Enhance the handling and ride comfort of your Harley Sportster XL with the Ohlins STX 36 Blackline Twin Shocks. Engineered for damping control, these shocks offer fully adjustable compression and rebound tuning, allowing you to dial in your chassis to your weight and riding style.
The Ohlins STX 36 Blackline Twin Shocks are designed to provide a significant upgrade to your Harley Sportster XL's rear suspension. These premium shocks deliver exceptional damping control and improved ride comfort, whether you're navigating urban streets or exploring light off-road paths. The Blackline finish adds a stealthy, custom look that complements any Sportster build, while the advanced internal components ensure consistent performance.
Designed for straightforward installation, these STX 36 Blackline shocks bolt directly into your Sportster XL's stock shock mounts without requiring any frame modifications. The external adjustment knobs for compression and rebound damping make it easy to fine-tune your suspension. This allows you to precisely match the shocks' characteristics to your weight, passenger load, and preferred riding dynamics, ensuring optimal handling and comfort on every journey.
Do these shocks require any frame modifications to install?
No, these Ohlins STX 36 Blackline shocks are a direct bolt-on replacement, fitting into the stock shock mounts on 2004-2020 Sportster XL frames without modifications.
Can I adjust the ride height or preload?
Yes, both compression and rebound damping are fully adjustable via external knobs, allowing you to tune the feel for your weight and riding preference. Please note that ride height adjustment may be limited depending on the specific model and spring choice.
Will these fit a 2021+ Sportster or other Harley models?
No, this specific part is designed exclusively for 2004-2020 Harley-Davidson Sportster XL models. Newer Sportster models and other Harley platforms use different suspension designs.
