Hi all,

I'm new to the world of sports bikes, so apologies in advance if my questions sound basic.

I have a 2014 Street Triple (Standard), and have tried the R version, so since then, I've been hunting for a better suspension set up.
Figured maybe Ohlins Rear might be a good option after reading on here.

I've hunted down couple of links on ebay, both saying either,

- TRIUMPH DAYTONA 675 STREET TRIPLE OHLINS REAR SHOCK TTX 2013
- triumph 675r daytona NEW 2013 OHLINS TTX rear suspension unit shock

I asked one seller, he said it should be a straight swap.

Has any tried this? Fitting a 2013 Ohlins R shock on a standard 2014? or similar?

Any help would be much appreciated!

It should physically "fit" no problem, but will alter the bike's geometry a little bit since rake/trail is different on the R vs the regular Street (the shock is a little bit longer from what I've read). Depending on your abilities, you may not notice at all, or you may need to play with the fork height a little.

Guys i may be wrong but i remember reading that the swing arm is positioned differently on the R to the standard model to make room for the longer rear shock. I would check that on the standard as it may not fit.
I will try to stop off at work some point this weekend to get the page back up from my history where i read it.

I hate to revive this old thread, but I have searched everywhere for a definitive answer. I still don't know if a 13+ Daytona 675R Ohlins shock will fit a 13-17 Street Triple (and/or R) without issue. Additional questions I have still are:
  • Is it the same length as the stock Street Triple shock? If not, is the height adjustable?
  • Did you have to make any adjustments to get it right (valving, settings, or otherwise)?

Hi,
The Ohlins TTX (Dayt.675R OEM) fits without any difficulties, it is NOT adjustable in length! The shock is 5mm longer, so the rear is raised about 10mm. For me the slightly higher rear gives better driveability im every situation. Sag and Damping has to be adjusted to your needs, but this is possible in a wide range with the Ohlins shock if you weight is around 85 kgs .

Best regards
Dirk
