The Ohlins BM303 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built for the BMW F 800 GS with a focus on controlled damping and consistent behaviour across changing surfaces. It is designed to help the bike remain composed over rough tracks and during long-distance touring. External adjustments let you tailor feel for conditions and load without pulling the shock apart.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed within the Ohlins STX 46 Adventure family, this unit is aimed at riders who need predictable support and comfort across mixed terrain. The construction is intended to handle the demands of adventure riding where heat, repeated impacts and varying grip are common.

Who this shock is for

  • BMW F 800 GS riders wanting improved stability and control on unsealed roads and rougher tracks
  • Touring and adventure use where ride comfort and chassis balance matter over long days
  • Riders who want external adjustability to suit different conditions

Shock design & features

This is a rear mono shock from the Ohlins STX 46 Adventure range. It uses oil and gas separation to support consistent damping performance during sustained, demanding riding.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, plus spring preload. These controls allow you to balance comfort, traction and support, and to compensate for changes in pace, surface, or carried load.

Before you install

  • Confirm the application is correct for BMW F 800 GS and that all supplied parts match your motorcycle’s mounting points
  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit your tyres, terrain and riding style
  • If your bike is used in harsh conditions, plan periodic inspection and servicing to maintain damping consistency
