How Öhlins Builds It
Every unit is dyno-tested against the curve held for its part number, not sampled from a batch. Öhlins machines its own critical components instead of buying them in, and the tolerances are where the money goes. Service parts stay available for years after a part number leaves the current price list.
About the STX 36 Twin Range
Rebound adjustment is at the lower eyelet on most numbers in this range. The STX 36 Twin replaces both sides with Öhlins units carrying a 36 mm piston, adjustable rebound and — critically for a bike that carries a pillion — a usable preload range. Preload is set by a threaded collar on each side, and both sides must be set equally.
The Dyna Street Bob FXDB in Particular
The 2006–2016 generation kept the same chassis dimensions throughout, so one Öhlins number serves the whole run. Cruisers carry weight low and long, with short suspension travel doing work that a sportbike would spread over twice the stroke.
How It Behaves on the Road
Damper stroke comes to 65 mm on this number. At 305 mm it matches the standard unit's installed length exactly. A 36 mm piston gives the oil a large working area, so the force curve stays flat as temperature rises. Öhlins identifies the spring as 21180-01. The two adjusters do genuinely separate jobs, which is what makes methodical setup possible. Preload is set separately again, and preload is what determines static sag rather than damping.
Fitment and Compatibility
Öhlins releases HD 216 against the Harley Davidson Dyna Street Bob FXDB (2006–2016). Because the settings are model-specific, fitting it to a related machine would mean running the wrong specification.
Road Approval
Road approval: the Harley Davidson Dyna Street Bob FXDB is covered by a German ABE for this part number. The certificate is supplied and should stay with the vehicle documents.
