The Ohlins BM546 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built to suit the BMW K 1200 GT, focusing on controlled damping and consistent support for touring use. It is designed for riders who want a planted feel when conditions change and loads vary. The architecture uses a separated oil/gas design to help maintain damping stability on long rides.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a strong engineering focus on repeatable damping control and service life. The STX platform is designed to deliver predictable behaviour across a wide range of road and touring conditions.

Who this shock is for

  • BMW K 1200 GT riders who tour and want improved composure from the rear of the bike
  • Riders carrying luggage or a pillion and wanting steadier support
  • Owners looking for suspension that can be tuned rather than simply replaced

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear mono shock using a separated oil/gas layout. The design aims to keep damping performance consistent during extended use and varying riding conditions.

Tuning controls

Adjustability includes rebound damping, compression damping, and spring preload. These controls let you tailor chassis attitude and feel to suit load, road surface, and riding style.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for the BMW K 1200 GT and verify clearance with any accessories fitted to the bike
  • Set sag and preload for your typical riding load before fine-tuning damping
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and settings once the suspension has cycled through normal travel

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviceable. Periodic maintenance helps keep damping response consistent and extends component life, particularly for bikes used regularly or in demanding conditions.
