About the STX 36 Twin Range

Twin-shock installations load each damper differently from a monoshock, and Öhlins specifies the pair accordingly. 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. The STX 36 Twin is built as a pair for exactly this geometry, with a 36 mm piston in a monotube body.

Damping and Adjustment

Length runs to 336 +10/-0 mm, so rake and trail on the Sportster XL 883 R Roadster become something to dial rather than inherit. Öhlins supplies spring 00480-02 with this unit. 98 mm of stroke is what the Sportster XL 883 R Roadster's linkage allows, and the shim stack is set for exactly that. Rate as supplied is prog.16-26 N/mm, matched by Öhlins to this machine rather than to the platform. Compression and rebound are adjusted independently, so support under load can be set without changing how fast the wheel returns. A single click produces a change most riders can detect, which is not true of every adjustable damper.

Construction and Material Quality

Every Öhlins dealer can re-valve the unit, because the shim stack is a documented, serviceable assembly. Gas pressure is set at the factory and holds through normal service intervals. Production has stayed in Sweden since the company was founded in 1976.

Fitted to the Sportster XL 883 R Roadster

This part number spans model years 2006 to 2016; earlier and later generations take different numbers. Cruisers carry weight low and long, with short suspension travel doing work that a sportbike would spread over twice the stroke. A 883 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.
