DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Öhlins TTX GP shock absorber AP 468 is a direct-fit, road-legal upgrade for the Aprilia RSV4 family that delivers measurable improvements in both everyday comfort and corner-exit confidence — without a trip to the dyno each time you change riding conditions. Its comprehensive on-bike adjustability means you can dial in the suspension to suit a spirited weekend ride or a track day with equal ease.
Key Features
- TTX twin-tube gas pressure damper with a fixed external piggy-back reservoir for consistent, fade-free damping across all riding conditions
- Fully adjustable compression and rebound damping, letting you refine the ride character to suit road or circuit without special tools
- Integrated hydraulic spring preload adjuster for quick load compensation — solo, pillion, or luggage — right at the shock body
- 36 mm piston diameter for superior durability and efficient, linear damping response across the full stroke
- 315 mm eye-to-eye length (+2 / -4 mm adjustment) with 63 mm of travel, preserving the factory geometry of the RSV4 platform
- Supplied with spring 21040-26 and a fitting instruction — ready to install straight from the box
- Homologated for road use in Germany (ABE approval) across all covered Aprilia fitments
Design and Build Quality
Öhlins developed the TTX GP platform as a trickle-down of their MotoGP and World Superbike race technology, refined for series production. The twin-tube architecture keeps oil and gas separated throughout the stroke, ensuring the damping fluid remains properly aerated and the response consistent whether the shock has been working hard through a mountain pass or sitting stationary in traffic. The fixed piggy-back reservoir adds oil volume without compromising the compact packaging that the RSV4 chassis demands, and the anodised alloy body is built to withstand years of road use.
On Road and on Track
Day to day, the AP 468 transforms the RSV4 into a more planted, more communicative machine. The hydraulic preload adjuster makes solo-to-two-up changes a matter of seconds rather than a workshop visit, and the independently adjustable compression and rebound circuits mean that softening the ride for a long motorway haul costs you nothing in corner-exit stability when the road turns twisty. For riders who occasionally take their RSV4 to a track day, the same damping adjusters provide a genuine starting point for session-by-session tuning — a tangible advantage over fixed or coarsely adjustable alternatives at this price point.
