The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the BMW F 900GS is designed to improve control and consistency when conditions change from sealed roads to rough tracks. It is built around a monotube layout intended to maintain predictable damping and stability across long rides. This unit is suited to riders who want more confidence and adjustability without compromising day-to-day ride quality.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins adventure shocks are developed with a focus on repeatable damping performance and practical adjustability for real-world riding. The STX 46 Adventure family targets mixed-surface use where comfort, chassis control and load handling matter.

Who this shock is for

  • BMW F 900GS riders who spend time on gravel, corrugations and uneven backroads
  • Touring riders carrying luggage and sometimes a pillion
  • Owners who want external adjustments to tune feel for changing terrain

Shock design & features

This is a rear mono shock using an oil/gas separated design (reservoir type) to help keep damping more consistent as the shock works harder. It is part of the Ohlins STX 46 Adventure product family and is supplied with an Ohlins spring fitted.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Hydraulic spring preload adjustment for quicker load compensation

Before you install

Check that the supplied spring and baseline settings suit your typical riding weight (rider, gear, luggage and pillion). After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression to match your terrain and tyre choice.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance shocks, regular servicing helps maintain damping consistency and seal life. Use the recommended Ohlins suspension fluid where applicable and service intervals should reflect how often the bike is used in dust, water crossings or sustained rough conditions.
