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 your 2004-2020 Harley-Davidson Sportster XL with Ohlins STX 36 Blackline adjustable twin shocks. Engineered for smooth ride quality and confident handling, these shocks excel in both street cruising and light sport riding. The adjustable damping feature allows you to fine-tune comfort or firmness to perfectly match your weight and riding style.
The Ohlins STX 36 Blackline shocks bring a new level of customization and performance to your Sportster XL. With easily accessible adjustable damping, you're in control of your ride's feel. Whether you prefer a plush ride for long hauls or a firmer setup for aggressive cornering, these shocks can be dialed in to meet your demands, providing a truly personalized riding experience.
Upgrading to adjustable Ohlins STX 36 Blackline shocks allows you to optimize your Sportster's dynamics for any situation. It's recommended to replace both rear shocks as a pair to maintain even ride height and handling balance, ensuring your bike performs as intended. Consider pairing these with an Ohlins front fork upgrade for a complete, balanced suspension system that truly transforms your Sportster's handling.
Will these fit my 2021 and newer Sportster S?
No, these Ohlins STX 36 Blackline shocks are specifically designed for 2004-2020 Sportster XL models. The 2021+ Sportster S utilizes a different rear suspension platform and requires different shocks.
Are these shocks adjustable?
Yes, the Ohlins STX 36 Blackline shocks feature adjustable damping. This allows you to tune the ride stiffness and responsiveness to match your weight, riding style, and various road conditions.
Is it necessary to replace both shocks at the same time?
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace both rear shocks as a pair. This ensures consistent ride height, balanced handling, and optimal performance across the rear of your motorcycle.
