Damping that fades turns a predictable Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow into one that has to be ridden around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36 mm piston diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas-pressurised monotube damper with the reservoir integrated into the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivered with a 26 N\/mm spring, selected for the Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamper stroke 42 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length 279 mm as specified by Öhlins for this model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonotube damper layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed by Öhlins for the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow (2017–2022) and no other machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDamping and Adjustment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins quotes 42 mm of damper stroke for this fitment. Öhlins specifies 36 mm for the piston on this number. The unit measures 279 mm installed, which is the dimension the Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow's linkage expects. A 26 N\/mm spring comes fitted, and it is the first thing to reconsider if the rider is heavy or light. Öhlins publishes a baseline setting for each part number, which is the sensible starting point. Preload is set separately again, and preload is what determines static sag rather than damping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitted to the Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort travel and substantial mass are a hard combination: there is little room to absorb anything, so damping quality matters more. A 1200 cc machine of this type sits in a specific weight band, and Öhlins picks the spring rate for that band rather than for the platform. This part number spans model years 2017 to 2022; earlier and later generations take different numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction has stayed in Sweden since the company was founded in 1976. Two units carrying the same part number behave the same way out of the box, which is the whole point of testing each one. Shafts are hardened and surface-treated so the seal has a consistent surface to run against.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe STX 36 Blackline in Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwin-shock applications are supplied as a matched pair. The finish suits classic and retro machines where chrome and black dominate. The STX 36 in Blackline finish: black anodised body, black spring, 36 mm damping piston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fitment stated here is the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow in its 2017–2022 form, under Öhlins part number HD 757. Öhlins lists no other machine against this number, so it is not a unit that can be adapted to a neighbouring model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: ABE (Germany) for the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow.
