The Ohlins BM047 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built for the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure, focusing on stable control and consistent damping across mixed surfaces. It is designed to cope with changing loads and conditions common to adventure and touring use. Adjustment is external to help you tailor feel without removing the unit.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins suspension engineering, this rear mono shock is intended to improve chassis control and reduce rider effort on long days. It targets predictable behaviour when the terrain, speed and load vary.

Who this shock is for

  • BMW R 1200 GS Adventure riders who want more composure on rough roads and tracks
  • Touring and adventure riding where luggage or a pillion can change rear ride behaviour
  • Riders who value adjustability for different surfaces and conditions

Shock design & features

This is an oil and gas separated (gas-pressurised) mono shock from the STX 46 Adventure family, designed for rear fitment. The architecture supports consistent damping performance under repeated impacts and long-distance use.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your BMW R 1200 GS Adventure and that you are replacing the rear mono shock position
  • Set spring preload for your typical load (solo, luggage, pillion) before fine-tuning damping
  • After installation, recheck fasteners and setup once the suspension has been cycled through full travel

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviceable so oil and wear components can be refreshed as the unit accumulates use. Regular servicing helps maintain damping consistency over time, particularly with frequent off-road riding.
