The Ohlins AP841 STX 46 Supersport rear shock absorber is built for controlled damping behaviour and consistent chassis support for performance road and track-focused use on the Aprilia RSV 1000 Mille and Tuono. It is aimed at riders who want clearer rear tyre feedback and more predictable response during braking, turn-in and acceleration. The gas-pressurised design is intended to help maintain damping consistency as temperatures and duty cycle increase.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins Supersport shocks focus on stable damping control and repeatable adjustment response. The goal is a rear end that settles cleanly, supports geometry under load, and communicates grip changes without harshness.

Who this shock is for

Suited to Aprilia RSV 1000 Mille and Tuono riders chasing more consistent rear support and improved tyre feel. It is a strong fit for spirited road riding, track days, and riders working on braking stability, drive grip, and predictable corner exits.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 rear shock with a gas-pressurised internal layout where oil and gas are separated rather than emulsion. The separated design helps reduce aeration under sustained use and supports more consistent damping behaviour across longer sessions.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping: Adjusts the shock’s return speed after compression, influencing stability on corner exit and how the rear tracks across repeated bumps.
  • Compression damping: Adjusts resistance as the rear loads up, influencing chassis support under braking and on initial throttle application.

With independently adjustable compression and rebound, changes can be targeted to specific handling symptoms while maintaining overall balance.

Base setup (factory preset)

The standard valving is intended as a balanced starting point that prioritises grip and control under aggressive inputs. From there, damping adjustments can be used to suit tyre choice, surface conditions, and rider preference while keeping responses consistent.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As with any performance rear shock, service intervals depend on intensity of use and operating conditions. Periodic oil and seal servicing helps maintain damping consistency and limits wear-related drift over time.

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.
