The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for the Bimota 500 Vdue is built around proven race-derived damping architecture for consistent control and clear chassis feedback. It is a rear mono shock designed to support confident cornering, braking stability, and traction on performance-focused road and track use. This unit uses a gas-pressurised design to help maintain damping consistency as conditions change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins Supersport suspension focuses on predictable damping behaviour and repeatable adjustment. The aim is to give the rider a stable platform with the feel needed to refine setup without chasing inconsistency.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want sharper response than a standard shock and the ability to tune the bike for tyres, pace, and track surfaces. It’s a logical choice for regular spirited riding and track days where stability and drive grip matter.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 Supersport rear mono shock with oil and gas separated by an internal reservoir layout. The gas-pressurised design is intended to reduce aeration and support stable damping performance during sustained hard use.

Tuning controls

This shock includes external adjustment for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to balance support and comfort while targeting stability on the brakes and traction on corner exit. Adjustments are designed to be used independently to fine-tune feel without upsetting overall control.

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for Bimota 500 Vdue and check clearance around the linkage and exhaust.
  • Inspect existing bearings/bushes and replace worn components to avoid masking setup changes.
  • After installation, set sag and then use the damping adjusters to refine balance front-to-rear.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all high-performance shocks, periodic servicing helps maintain consistent damping and seal condition. A routine service schedule is recommended to keep performance predictable, particularly if the bike sees regular track use.
