The Ohlins STX 46 Blackline rear shock for the BMW R nineT Scrambler and R nineT Urban G/S is built to improve control and ride quality while keeping a clean, classic look. Designed as a rear mono shock, it offers practical tuning for real-world road riding. A factory baseline setup is provided as a starting point, with adjustment range to suit rider preference and load.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on consistent damping performance and predictable feedback. The STX 46 Blackline family pairs that engineering approach with a dark finish suited to heritage and custom-style bikes.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 rear mono shock with separated oil and gas to help maintain damping consistency. The architecture is intended to deliver stable behaviour through a range of road conditions, with a layout that supports tuning without changing the bike’s character.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to fine-tune how quickly the shock returns after compression
  • Compression damping adjustment to manage support and bump absorption
  • Spring preload adjustment to suit rider weight and luggage

Base setup (factory preset)

Ohlins supplies this unit with a factory preset as a sensible starting point for general street use. From there, the rebound, compression and preload adjusters let you refine comfort, support and chassis balance to match your riding and typical loads.

Before you install

Confirm fitment for your exact BMW R nineT Scrambler or R nineT Urban G/S variant and model year before installation. After fitting, set static sag using preload, then use small adjustment changes to rebound and compression to keep the bike balanced front-to-rear.
