The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for BMW R 100 R and R 80 R is built to improve chassis control and feedback in real-world road use. It uses a mono-shock layout aimed at delivering consistent damping feel through changing loads and road surfaces. This unit is designed to let you tailor rebound behaviour to suit your bike setup and riding style.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street-focused shocks are developed from competition suspension principles, with an emphasis on predictable response and mechanical grip. The goal is a planted rear end that supports confident corner entry, mid-corner stability and drive out of turns without harshness.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want more control and composure from the rear of their BMW R 100 R or R 80 R on the street. It’s a practical choice when you’re chasing clearer feedback, improved stability under braking and a more settled ride over mixed road surfaces.

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 46 Street mono rear shock using a gas-pressurised design. Gas pressure helps maintain damping consistency during sustained riding by reducing foaming and fade, keeping the shock response more stable as conditions change.

Tuning controls

Rebound damping adjustment is provided to fine-tune how quickly the shock extends after compression. This lets you balance comfort, traction and chassis stability depending on tyres, load and riding pace.

Before you install

Confirm fitment for your specific model and year of BMW R 100 R / R 80 R, and check clearances with any accessories or luggage systems. After installation, set sag and then refine rebound damping in small steps to match your road conditions and riding preferences.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like any performance shock, ongoing servicing helps maintain damping quality and seal life over time. Periodic inspection and oil service will keep performance consistent and extend the usable life of the unit.
