The Ohlins BM443 STX 46 Street rear shock is built for the BMW R 1200 S SA and designed to improve control and consistency in street riding. Based on Ohlins suspension architecture used across performance applications, it focuses on stable damping behaviour and clear feedback at the tyre. This unit is a rear mono shock with separate oil and gas to help maintain damping consistency over longer rides.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins STX technology is developed with an engineering-first approach to deliver predictable chassis behaviour and repeatable damping performance. The aim is improved composure through braking, turning and acceleration without making the bike feel harsh or nervous.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Street series rear mono shock construction
  • Oil and gas separated internal layout to support consistent damping performance
  • Purpose-fit application for BMW R 1200 S SA

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Hydraulic preload adjustment for practical ride-height and load changes

Base setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with an Ohlins baseline configuration intended as a starting point for road use. Fine-tuning is typically done to suit rider mass, riding style and load, using the external compression and rebound adjustments along with preload.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact model and year (BMW R 1200 S SA)
  • Inspect mounting hardware and bearings/bushes during installation
  • After installation, set sag and then adjust damping to match your tyres and typical riding conditions

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, the BM443 is intended to be serviced to keep damping performance consistent over time. Regular inspection and periodic servicing help maintain control, seal condition and oil quality as the shock accumulates use.
