The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the BMW R 1200 RT is designed to improve chassis control and ride comfort across varied touring conditions. It provides consistent support when the bike is loaded and helps keep the rear stable over rougher surfaces. The focus is predictable damping response and dependable performance for long-distance use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Built around Ohlins STX architecture, this rear unit is aimed at riders who want clear feedback and a controlled ride without compromising comfort. It suits day-to-day road use as well as extended touring where surface quality can change quickly.

Shock design & features

This is a rear mono shock using an oil/gas separated design to maintain damping consistency as temperatures and workload increase. The layout is intended to offer stable behaviour under luggage or pillion loads while keeping compliance for imperfect roads.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to tailor how the rear responds to bumps and how quickly it returns after a hit. Spring preload adjustment is also included to help set ride height and support for different loads.

Base setup (factory preset)

The shock is supplied with an Ohlins base setting intended to be a practical starting point for the R 1200 RT. Fine-tuning is typically done to match rider weight, luggage, passenger use and the type of roads you ride most often.

Before you install

Confirm the motorcycle model and year compatibility before fitting. After installation, set sag and preload first, then use damping adjustments to refine comfort and control. A workshop manual or a qualified technician is recommended for correct installation and setup.
