DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Öhlins TTX GP DU 569 is a race-derived rear shock absorber engineered exclusively for the Ducati 959 Panigale (2016–2019). Drawing on Öhlins' decades of World Superbike and MotoGP pedigree, it pairs a signature gold-anodised body with a fixed external piggyback reservoir — a combination that is as visually striking as it is functionally superior. Every detail, from the 36 mm piston to the fully adjustable damping circuit, reflects the uncompromising Swedish craftsmanship that has defined the brand since its first championship win.
Key Features
- Gas-pressure damper with fixed external piggyback reservoir for consistent, fade-free damping across the full stroke
- 36 mm piston diameter delivers exceptional durability and a level of feedback typically reserved for full race builds
- Independent rebound and compression damping adjustment lets you dial in the shock precisely for road, canyon or track use
- Integrated length adjustment (317 mm +4/−8 mm) allows fine-tuning of ride height and chassis geometry without additional hardware
- 65 mm stroke and 80 N/mm spring rate matched specifically to the 959 Panigale's weight distribution and suspension kinematics
- Supplied with spring part number 01092-24 — an Öhlins-specified unit ensuring the complete system performs as a coherent package
- German ABE type approval included, confirming full street-legal compliance for road use in Germany
Design, Finish and Heritage
Öhlins has competed at the highest level of motorsport for over four decades, and the TTX GP carries that lineage in every machined surface. The twin-tube TTX architecture — developed originally for Grand Prix machinery — migrated to the Ducati-specific DU 569 to bring prototype-grade consistency to production superbike owners. The external reservoir keeps oil temperature stable and prevents cavitation during sustained hard riding, while the piggyback layout preserves the clean undertail lines of the 959's chassis. It is a shock absorber that announces its quality before a wheel turns.
Performance on Road and Track
Fitted as a direct, bolt-on replacement, the TTX GP transforms the 959 Panigale's rear-end composure. The adjustable compression and rebound circuits respond to even modest changes in setting, making it straightforward to find the sweet spot between supple street compliance and the taut, planted feel demanded by a fast circuit. Riders who move between road and occasional track days will find the length adjustment particularly valuable, enabling a quick geometry change without swapping components.
