DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Öhlins TTX GP DU 568 is a race-derived rear shock absorber carrying ABE type approval for German road use — meaning you get uncompromising track-level suspension performance without sacrificing street legality on the 2025-2026 Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S.
Key Features
- ABE approval for German road use, ensuring full legal compliance alongside genuine motorsport-grade performance
- Twin-tube gas pressure damper with external piggyback reservoir for consistent, fade-resistant damping even under sustained track stress and extreme temperatures
- 36 mm piston diameter delivering precise, progressive damping response across the full stroke range
- Independent rebound (R1) and compression (C1) damping adjustment for dialling in corner entry and exit behaviour independently
- Hydraulic spring preload adjustment (B) requires no tools — ideal for adapting to rider weight, pillion or varying circuit conditions on the fly
- Direct fitment to Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S (2025-2026) with no modification required beyond the noted semi-active suspension trade-off
Race Technology, Road Approved
The TTX GP designation (type code T36PR1C1B) places this shock absorber at the very top of Öhlins' product hierarchy — a twin-tube design whose origins lie in the pressures of professional motorcycle racing. The external piggyback reservoir separates the oil and nitrogen gas chambers, maintaining a consistent damping curve even when lesser units would fade. The 36 mm piston, 65 mm stroke and 85 N/mm spring rate have been validated through extensive testing to suit the chassis geometry of the current-generation Panigale V4 platform precisely.
Adjustment and Setup
Three independent adjustment circuits give you genuine setup latitude. Rebound damping (R1) governs how quickly the suspension extends after compression — slower settings reward smooth tracks and confident corner exits, while faster settings suit bumpier surfaces. Compression damping (C1) shapes the initial response to road or track inputs, letting you balance comfort against the direct, planted feel the Panigale V4 is capable of. Hydraulic spring preload (B) is adjusted without tools, so setting sag at the paddock or changing configuration for a road ride takes seconds rather than minutes.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Öhlins DU 568 is engineered specifically for the following models:
- Ducati Panigale V4 (2025-2026)
- Ducati Panigale V4 S (2025-2026)
Please note: when fitting this unit to the Panigale V4 S, the semi-active suspension function is deactivated. The trade-off is a fully manual, race-focused setup with no electronic interference — many track-focused riders regard this as a benefit rather than a compromise. The ABE approval covers road use in Germany; please verify local regulations if you are registering the motorcycle outside Germany.
Fitting and Setup Service
This is not a part to rush. Öhlins recommends installation by an authorised service centre, and we are an authorised Öhlins service centre — fitting, servicing and setup all happen here. Get in touch if you would like the work done with the order.
