The Ohlins BM059 STX 46 Street rear shock is designed to improve chassis control and ride quality on the BMW F 800 R. Built around Ohlins road-focused valving, it supports confident cornering and stability under braking without compromising everyday comfort. This unit uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain consistent damping in changing conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins draws on decades of competition and road development to deliver suspension that is predictable, tuneable and serviceable. The STX 46 Street family is aimed at riders who want clearer feedback and better composure on real roads.

Who this shock is for

  • BMW F 800 R riders chasing improved control and stability for spirited street riding
  • Owners wanting a quality replacement with proper damping control rather than a basic rebuild
  • Riders who value tuneability to match load, tyres and road conditions

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 46 Street rear mono shock with a gas-pressurised internal layout where oil and gas are separated. The architecture is intended to reduce damping fade and maintain consistent behaviour as temperatures and workload change.

Tuning controls

The shock provides external rebound damping adjustment, allowing you to tailor how quickly the suspension extends after compression. Spring preload adjustment is used to set sag for rider weight and luggage/passenger use.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for BMW F 800 R and check clearance around exhaust, chain run and linkage areas
  • Set rider sag with preload before making damping changes
  • Make rebound adjustments in small steps and test on a known loop to isolate changes

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, this shock is designed to be serviced. Regular maintenance helps keep damping consistent and extends the working life of seals, oil and internal components.
