DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Öhlins TTX GP shock absorber YA 468 is the definitive suspension upgrade for the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M, carrying German ABE type approval across the full 2015–2026 model range — giving you certified, road-legal performance without compromise. Engineered around a pressurised gas damper with a fixed external reservoir and a 36 mm piston, it delivers the kind of consistent, fade-free damping that defines Öhlins' TTX GP pedigree.
Key Features
- German ABE type approval for all covered fitments — fully road-legal and certified for use on public roads and track days.
- Pressurised gas damper with fixed external reservoir eliminates cavitation and maintains consistent damping across the full stroke.
- Full independent adjustment of rebound and compression damping lets you dial the chassis to your exact riding style and conditions.
- Integrated hydraulic spring preload adjuster allows fast, precise ride-height and preload changes without specialist tools.
- Adjustable length (315 mm +6/-0) and 58 mm of stroke provide a genuine setup range rarely found in OEM or budget aftermarket units.
- 90 N/mm spring rate (spring part number 21041-29) matched to the R1/R1M platform for balanced, neutral handling.
Build Quality & Engineering
The TTX GP designation is Öhlins' twin-tube, through-shaft technology: the damper rod passes completely through the piston and reservoir, equalising pressure on both sides and producing perfectly linear damping forces at any velocity. The 36 mm piston diameter maximises the oil flow window, which translates directly into a more progressive, predictable response over both small ripples and large compressions. Every component is produced in Öhlins' own facility to aerospace tolerances and is serviceable through any authorised Öhlins Service Centre — a long-term investment rather than a consumable.
Road & Track Use
Whether you are chasing lap times at a circuit or covering fast B-roads, the YA 468 rewards attention to setup. The independent rebound and compression adjusters are clearly indexed and accessible from the standard fitment position, so mid-session changes take seconds. For the YZF-R1M specifically, please note that fitting this unit disables the OEM semi-active suspension system — a worthwhile trade for most track-focused riders who prefer fully manual, tunable damping, but one to consider carefully if semi-active convenience on the road is a priority.
