The STX 36 Twin in Detail

Both units are supplied as a matched pair with the same part number and the same valving. The 36 mm piston suits the shorter stroke and steeper mounting angle typical of a twin-shock frame. Retro and classic machines often carry a pillion regularly, which is why the preload range matters more here than on a sportbike.

Damping Performance

The damper moves 67 mm from full extension to full compression. 325 +5/-5 mm of adjustment turns ride height into a setting rather than a fixed dimension. Öhlins identifies the spring as 21180-01. Rate as supplied is 32 N/mm, matched by Öhlins to this machine rather than to the platform. The adjuster range is usable end to end rather than only around the middle. A single click produces a change most riders can detect, which is not true of every adjustable damper.

Materials and Manufacture

The eyelets carry spherical bearings rather than rubber bushes, so the damper is not fighting its own mounting. The Öhlins part number is stamped on the unit, so its specification can be looked up years later. Öhlins manufactures in Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm, and assembles and tests every unit there before it ships.

What This Means on the Dyna Low Rider S FXDLS

Cruisers carry weight low and long, with short suspension travel doing work that a sportbike would spread over twice the stroke.
