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.
Experience premium comfort and enhanced handling with the Ohlins STX 36 Blackline Twin Shocks for your Harley Sportster XL. These shocks are purpose-built for the Sportster chassis, offering adjustable damping and ride height to precisely dial in your preferred setup.
The Ohlins STX 36 Blackline Twin Shocks are engineered to redefine your Harley Sportster XL's ride quality. Providing a significant upgrade over factory suspension, these shocks deliver superior performance, comfort, and control for any riding scenario. The adjustable features allow you to fine-tune your bike's dynamics, ensuring a personalized feel that matches your individual style and the demands of the road.
Designed as a direct replacement, these STX 36 Blackline shocks utilize the original mounting points on Sportster XL models, making installation straightforward. With both preload and damping adjustments, you have the power to customize your comfort and handling characteristics. This allows you to compensate for rider weight, passenger load, or varying road conditions, ensuring your Sportster performs optimally and feels planted through every turn and over every bump.
Do these shocks require any frame modifications to install?
No, these Ohlins STX 36 Blackline shocks are a direct replacement for the stock dual shocks on Sportster XL models, using the original mounting points without modifications.
Can I adjust ride height and damping?
Yes, both preload and damping are adjustable on these shocks, allowing you to customize comfort and handling for your weight and riding style, including ride height adjustments.
Will these fit my 2021+ Sportster S?
No, this part is specifically designed for 2004-2020 Harley-Davidson Sportster XL models. The newer Sportster S uses a different chassis and suspension geometry, so these shocks are not compatible.
