The Ohlins STX46/PDS (PCS) rear shock absorber is built for Husqvarna TC 85 applications where consistent damping control and predictable feel matter. It’s designed as a complete replacement unit, aimed at riders and tuners who want a suspension package that can be serviced, tuned and maintained over time. If you’re working toward a more controlled rear end through changing track conditions, this is a solid base to build from.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins off-road shocks are engineered around stable damping behaviour and repeatable tuning. This unit is intended for motocross use, with a focus on traction and balance rather than harshness or spike.

Who this shock is for

Suited to TC 85 riders looking for a rear shock that can be tuned to match rider weight, pace and track surface. It also suits teams and workshops that want a serviceable platform with parts support and proven internal architecture.

Shock design & features

This is a PDS-style rear shock in Ohlins STX46 family, using a separated oil/gas design to help maintain damping consistency as temperatures and loads change. The layout is designed to support controlled movement through the stroke while keeping response predictable over repeated laps.

Tuning controls

External damping adjustments are provided for both compression and rebound, allowing you to refine support, comfort and traction to suit track conditions. Spring selection and sag setup remain key to getting the best balance from the chassis.

Before you install

Confirm exact model fitment for your Husqvarna TC 85 and plan to set rider sag and static sag once fitted. If you’re changing from a different shock type or spring rate, allow time for baseline tuning so the front and rear remain balanced.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins units are designed to be serviced and re-valved, which helps keep performance consistent over time and allows tuning changes as the rider progresses. Regular servicing is recommended based on riding conditions and hours of use.

Öhlins Motorcycle Suspension Warranty

New Öhlins motorcycle shock absorbers, front forks and cartridge kits supplied by Teknik Motorsport are covered by the applicable Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Teknik Motorsport is an authorised Öhlins Service Centre and administers warranty claims in accordance with the Öhlins warranty conditions. The service intervals below form part of the maintenance requirements for Öhlins products supplied and supported by Teknik Motorsport.

This warranty is in addition to the consumer guarantees that apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

Registered motorcycles — non-competition road use Five years, subject to correct application, installation, setup and servicing every: 20,000 km or two years, whichever occurs first.
Registered motorcycles — adventure and light off-road use Five years, subject to correct application, spring rate, setup and servicing every: 10,000 km or annually, whichever occurs first.
Unregistered or competition motorcycles Two years for eligible Öhlins MX and Enduro products, subject to inspection every ten hours and servicing every: 30 operating hours or annually, whichever occurs first.

Compliance with the applicable service interval is a condition of the Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty. Evidence of servicing may be required when a warranty claim is assessed.

A seal leak, loss of damping performance or internal wear arising after the prescribed service interval has been exceeded will be treated as a service or maintenance issue rather than a manufacturing defect.

Warranty repairs

Öhlins suspension products are designed to be serviced and repaired. Where a warranty claim is approved, the normal remedy is repair of the customer’s original suspension unit using genuine Öhlins replacement parts.

Replacement of a complete shock absorber, fork or cartridge kit is not automatic and would normally occur only where the product has suffered a manufacturing failure that cannot reasonably be repaired. This is at Ohlins discretion.

Öhlins spare parts and service kits

Öhlins spare parts, seals, bushes, service kits, springs, fluids and individual components are covered only against defects present when supplied.

No fixed age-based warranty applies to wear items, service parts or consumable components. Wear, deterioration, contamination, incorrect installation and damage caused by another component are not manufacturing defects.

Öhlins gives the customer a meaningful five-year warranty on products (Units), provided the suspension is maintained as suspension should be maintained. Teknik supports that warranty locally, can inspect the product properly, and can repair it with genuine parts rather than discarding it.
