The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the BMW K 100 RS is built to improve chassis control and ride comfort across mixed road conditions. It is designed to maintain stability when the surface deteriorates and when the bike is carrying extra load. As an Ohlins unit, it focuses on consistent damping behaviour and predictable feedback.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX 46 Adventure shocks are developed for riders who want confident, controlled suspension feel on real-world roads. The design aims for stability under acceleration and braking, with damping that remains consistent over long rides.

Who this shock is for

  • BMW K 100 RS riders wanting a more controlled and supported rear end on touring and day-to-day road use
  • Riders who carry luggage or vary load and want a broader tuning range
  • Owners looking for a serviceable, rebuildable rear shock as a long-term suspension solution

Shock design & features

This is an STX platform rear mono shock using an oil/gas separated internal design for stable damping performance. Ohlins build quality and internal valving are intended to deliver consistent response and good wheel control across changing surfaces.

Tuning controls

This shock includes damping adjustment for rebound and compression, allowing you to balance comfort, support and grip to suit your riding conditions. Spring preload is also adjustable to help set sag correctly for different rider and load combinations.

Before you install

  • Set rider sag and static sag first, then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit your tyres, load and road conditions
  • Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware so the shock can move freely through its stroke
  • If you frequently change load (luggage/pillion), note your settings so you can return to a known baseline

Serviceability/lifecycle

As an Ohlins unit, the shock is designed to be serviced and revalved when required. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and extends component life, particularly when ridden in wet or dirty conditions.
