The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for the Bimota SB8K is built to deliver consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback. It’s a purpose-made rear mono shock designed for riders who want more confidence under braking and better drive on corner exit. The STX architecture focuses on stable, repeatable performance across demanding road and track conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins Supersport components are developed from racing experience and refined for real-world riding. The emphasis is on predictable response, controlled weight transfer, and traction you can trust when pace increases.

Who this shock is for

Suited to Bimota SB8K owners chasing sharper rear-end control and improved stability when braking hard into corners. It’s also a strong choice if you want a broader tuning window to match tyres, riding style, and track or road surfaces.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 Supersport rear mono shock with a gas-pressurised damping system. The gas/oil separation helps maintain consistent damping behaviour during extended, demanding use and reduces the risk of fade compared with simpler designs.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound and compression damping, allowing you to balance support and grip to suit your setup. Rebound damping helps manage how quickly the shock extends after a bump or load change, while compression damping influences how the rear resists squat and absorbs impacts.

Before you install

  • Confirm the shock is intended for the Bimota SB8K and that your linkage and mounting hardware are in good condition.
  • Check spring fitment and condition during installation.
  • After fitment, set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit tyres and riding conditions.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is fully serviceable. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent and extends component life, particularly if the bike sees track use or frequent hard riding.
