DescriptionThe whole story▼

The Öhlins HD 141 exists because the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow (2017–2022) needed its own settings, not a shared set. On the Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow the rear unit does most of the work of keeping the chassis settled.

  • Ships with spring 00480-02

Fitted to the Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow

Cruisers carry weight low and long, with short suspension travel doing work that a sportbike would spread over twice the stroke. The 1200 cc engine sets how quickly weight transfers, and damping has to be matched to that rather than to a class average. Öhlins covers the 6-year production run of this generation with a single part number, which means the mounting and the linkage stayed unchanged across it.

Construction and Material Quality

Öhlins manufactures in Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm, and assembles and tests every unit there before it ships. Öhlins sets a baseline for each part number on the machine it was developed on, so it works before anything is adjusted. Spring and damper are separate part numbers, so a rate change does not mean a new unit.

How It Behaves on the Road

Delivered spring rate: prog.16-26 N/mm, which suits a solo rider of average weight. Öhlins supplies spring 00480-02 with this unit. The damping piston measures 36 mm across, and piston area is what keeps damping force stable once the oil is hot. Stroke is 98 mm, which is the travel Öhlins has to work with on this linkage. Adjustment is by click rather than by feel, so a setting can be written down and returned to. The adjuster range is usable end to end rather than only around the middle.

Where This Sits in the Öhlins Line-up

Twin-shock installations load each damper differently from a monoshock, and Öhlins specifies the pair accordingly. The 36 mm piston suits the shorter stroke and steeper mounting angle typical of a twin-shock frame. 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.
