Precise damping for trail, enduro & all-mountain.
The Öhlins STX 22 Air in the 200 x 51 mm size (model 1881) is a versatile air rear shock for demanding MTB use. Its large-diameter piston works together with a finely tuned compression valve to keep oil flow inside the rear shock under optimal control - for sensitive response, plenty of grip and a planted, controlled ride feel.
The separately adjustable high- and low-speed compression damping and rebound damping can be adjusted externally. A Climb-Mode is also available, making the rear end firmer for long climbs and thereby improving pedaling efficiency and traction. On descents, you benefit from finely adjustable support in the mid-stroke range without having to sacrifice reserves for hard impacts.
The STX 22 Air's air spring uses a low-friction sealing system that enables rapid pressure equalization between the air chambers. The result: sensitive initial stroke, controlled mid-stroke damping and high bottom-out resistance. The air pressure, volume spacers and oil volume can be used to tune the spring curve from relatively linear to distinctly progressive - tailored to your riding style, frame and intended use.
The hard-anodized aluminum housing ensures low weight from approx. 340 g and high durability. As usual with Öhlins, the rear shock is fully serviceable and therefore ideally suited to servicing, maintenance and individual tuning. A 2-year warranty underscores its high-quality construction.
Highlights:
- Fine response & high control: large piston with a balanced damping valve for grip and stability - uphill and downhill.
- Extensive adjustment options: external high- and low-speed compression damping, rebound damping plus Climb-Mode for a firm suspension setup on climbs.
- Tunable air spring: spring rate adjustable via air pressure, progression adjustable via spacers and oil - from comfort-oriented to race-focused.
- STX technology: derived from Öhlins' motorsport world and optimized for mountain bikes.
- Durable & service-friendly: hard-anodized aluminum housing, fully serviceable design, ideal for regular maintenance.
