The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the BMW F 800 GS is built for riders who want consistent control and comfort across mixed surfaces. Designed for real-world adventure loads and varying terrain, it helps keep chassis behaviour predictable when conditions change. External adjustment makes it practical to tune for different riding and luggage situations.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on damping control, durability and serviceability. The STX Adventure platform is intended for long-distance use where reliability and repeatability matter.

Who this shock is for

  • Adventure and touring riders who regularly switch between sealed roads and unsealed tracks
  • Riders carrying luggage or a passenger and wanting improved stability
  • Owners chasing more controlled behaviour over corrugations, rough climbs and uneven surfaces

Shock design & features

This is a mono rear shock using an oil/gas separated design to help maintain damping consistency as conditions and workload change. The STX 46 architecture is aimed at controlled ride quality and traction across long days in the saddle.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to balance comfort, traction and chassis support for your setup. Spring preload adjustment is also provided to suit rider weight and load.

Before you install

  • Set sag and preload for your typical riding load before fine-tuning damping
  • Inspect linkage and mounting hardware condition during installation
  • This model is noted as replaced by BM 303

Serviceability/lifecycle

As with all performance dampers, periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent and protects internal wear components. Regular inspection is recommended if the bike sees frequent off-road use or sustained touring loads.
