DescriptionThe whole story▼

Fitted to the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow (2017–2022), the Öhlins HD 906 replaces the standard unit outright. Damping that fades turns a predictable Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow into one that has to be ridden around.

About the STX 36 Twin Range

Preload is set by a threaded collar on each side, and both sides must be set equally. Both units are supplied as a matched pair with the same part number and the same valving. 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.

Construction and Material Quality

Production has stayed in Sweden since the company was founded in 1976. Service parts stay available for years after a part number leaves the current price list. The Öhlins part number is stamped on the unit, so its specification can be looked up years later.

How It Behaves on the Road

Öhlins uses a 36 mm piston here: more area, lower oil velocity, less heat generated for the same force. Spring part number 00480-02 is a separate catalogue item, so a rate change is inexpensive. Öhlins quotes 77 mm of damper stroke for this fitment. With 336 +10/-0 mm on offer, rear ride height can be raised to sharpen turn-in or dropped to calm the Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow down. Adjustment is by click rather than by feel, so a setting can be written down and returned to. Compression and rebound are adjusted independently, so support under load can be set without changing how fast the wheel returns.

The Sportster XL 1200 T Superlow in Particular

The 2017–2022 generation kept the same chassis dimensions throughout, so one Öhlins number serves the whole run. A cruiser is often ridden two-up with luggage, which is the load case the standard suspension rarely handles well. 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.
