The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for BMW R 1150 R and R 850 R is built to improve chassis control and consistency in everyday road riding. Its monotube layout uses separated oil and gas to help maintain stable damping behaviour as conditions change. Designed as a direct-fit replacement, it provides a more controlled feel through corners and under braking without needing race-level maintenance.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road shocks draw on proven damper architecture to deliver predictable support and feedback on real roads. The STX platform focuses on control and compliance rather than harshness, helping the bike stay composed across mixed surfaces.

Shock design & features

  • STX monotube construction with separated oil and gas for consistent damping
  • Rear mono-shock fitment for the listed BMW models
  • Valving developed to improve traction and stability in normal street use

Tuning controls

This shock provides rebound damping adjustment, allowing you to tailor how quickly the shock extends after compression. Adjusting rebound can help balance comfort, grip, and stability to suit your load, tyres, and road conditions.

Base setup (factory preset)

Supplied with an Ohlins-recommended baseline configuration intended to suit typical road riding. From this starting point, small rebound changes can be used to fine-tune feel and chassis response.

Before you install

  • Confirm model compatibility for BMW R 1150 R and R 850 R before fitting
  • Set sag and check clearances after installation, especially if changing load or luggage use
  • Inspect linkage and mounting hardware condition during fitment

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a rebuildable Ohlins unit, the shock can be serviced to maintain performance over time. Periodic inspection and servicing helps keep damping consistent and extends component life.
