DescriptionThe whole story

The Öhlins TTX RT shock absorber YA 358 is a purpose-engineered replacement for the Yamaha YZF-R6, covering every generation from 2006 through to 2026. Dressed in Öhlins' unmistakable gold finish and carrying the marque's four decades of suspension heritage, this unit brings genuine factory-level damping refinement to the street or track without compromise.

Key Features

  • TTX (Twin Tube X) technology minimises cavitation risk, ensuring consistent, fade-free damping across every corner and braking zone.
  • Gas-pressure damper with a fixed external piggy-back reservoir maintains optimal oil temperature and separation for repeatable performance.
  • 36 mm piston diameter delivers exceptional durability and a broad, usable damping range suited to both road and circuit use.
  • Independently adjustable rebound and compression damping lets you dial in exactly the response your riding style and track conditions demand.
  • Length adjustment allows ride-height tuning to fine-tune chassis geometry and corner-entry balance.
  • Supplied with ABE type approval for Germany, confirming road-legal fitment across the full year range.

Design, Finish and Heritage

Öhlins has been synonymous with World Championship suspension since the 1970s, and the TTX RT carries that lineage in every detail. The signature anodised gold body and machined reservoir cap are not cosmetic afterthoughts — they reflect the precision manufacturing tolerances held throughout the unit. Every component is produced in Öhlins' Swedish facilities to aerospace-grade standards, and the TTX platform itself was developed directly from the closed-cartridge technology proven in MotoGP and World Superbike.

Unlike many aftermarket shocks that rely on a single-tube layout, the twin-tube architecture of the TTX keeps the compression and rebound circuits genuinely independent. The result is a damping characteristic that feels progressive and predictable whether you are threading through mountain roads or braking hard for a hairpin at a circuit day.

Performance on Road and Track

The fixed piggy-back reservoir is not merely a styling cue — it provides meaningful additional oil volume that keeps damping forces stable even during sustained, high-frequency inputs. The 60 mm stroke and 90 N/mm spring rate are matched specifically to the YZF-R6's geometry and mass, so the unit works in harmony with Yamaha's chassis rather than fighting it. Adjustments are straightforward: rebound and compression clicks are clearly indexed, and length changes are made via the lower mount so ride height can be set without removing the shock from the bike.

Fitment and Compatibility

This shock absorber is designed as a direct, bolt-on replacement for the following motorcycles:

  • Yamaha YZF-R6 (2006–2007) — with ABE approval (Germany)
  • Yamaha YZF-R6 (2008–2026) — with ABE approval (Germany)

Installation instructions are included. For optimal setup and to preserve warranty coverage, Öhlins recommend fitting by an authorised Öhlins Service Centre.
