DescriptionThe whole story▼

The Öhlins TTX SSP EC shock absorber KA 035 brings electronically controlled, real-time damping adjustment to the Kawasaki ZX-10R, delivering a ride that adapts continuously to your pace, the road surface and prevailing conditions — whether you are pushing hard on a circuit or logging long miles on public roads. It is the first electronically controlled mechatronic rear shock from Öhlins designed specifically for the aftermarket, and it sets a new benchmark for all-day comfort without sacrificing a trace of performance.

Key Features

  • Electronically controlled (EC) compression and rebound damping adjusters provide continuous, on-the-fly tuning with no manual intervention required.
  • Real-time adaptation to riding style, road conditions and speed means the suspension is always working in its optimal range — reducing fatigue on long rides as effectively as it sharpens lap times on track.
  • Based on the race-proven TTX36 platform, offering a level of performance previously available only in professional motorsport.
  • Includes the SCU (control unit) and full wiring harness for seamless integration with the ZX-10R's electronics architecture.
  • Spring rate of 110 N/mm and a 309 mm body length (adjustment range +6 / -0 mm) are matched precisely to the 2011–2012 ZX-10R geometry.
  • Supplied with a full installation manual; professional fitting at an authorised Öhlins service centre is recommended for best results.

Electronically Controlled Suspension, Engineered for Comfort and Control

Where conventional aftermarket shocks demand trackside adjustments with a spanner, the TTX SSP EC works in the background, reading your inputs and the road in milliseconds. The result is a shock absorber that feels at home on a two-hour motorway cruise and equally composed at the end of a long braking zone. The TTX36 internals — already trusted at the highest levels of Superbike racing — underpin every version of this unit, so the electronic control layer is built on a foundation of genuine race heritage rather than marketing shorthand.

SCU Integration and Installation

The included SCU and dedicated wiring harness make the installation self-contained. The control unit manages the EC adjusters automatically, so once fitted and configured there is no need to revisit damping settings between road and track use — the system handles the transition for you. A printed installation guide is included in the box; for optimal setup and warranty purposes, Öhlins recommends installation by an authorised service partner.
