The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the BMW F 650 GS is built to provide controlled, predictable damping across mixed surfaces and changing loads. It’s designed for riders who want a more composed feel over rough roads and tracks while keeping day-to-day comfort in mind. Supplied as a complete rear mono shock for a direct-fit replacement.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on damping consistency, mechanical durability, and tuneability. In adventure and touring use, that translates to stable chassis behaviour and clear feedback when conditions or loads change.

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated STX 46 shock architecture intended to maintain damping performance during longer, rougher rides. The construction suits sustained use where heat management and consistent control matter.

Tuning controls

External adjusters are provided for rebound damping and spring preload, allowing you to balance comfort, grip, and stability for different terrain and riding conditions. Rebound adjustment helps manage how quickly the shock extends after compression, while preload adjustment helps set ride height and support for rider and luggage.

Base setup (factory preset)

The shock is delivered with a fitted spring and a baseline setting from Ohlins to suit the intended application. Fine-tuning is typically performed after installation to match rider weight, typical luggage, and riding style.

Before you install

  • Confirm the model fitment for your BMW F 650 GS and check clearances around the linkage and reservoir routing area.
  • Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware condition before fitting the new shock.
  • After installation, set sag and adjust rebound to suit your normal load to get the best result.
