The Ohlins BM548 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is designed for riders chasing consistent control and comfort on a BMW K 1200 LT. Built for real-world touring conditions, it aims to keep the bike composed when road surfaces deteriorate and loads change. The focus is predictable damping, stability and support over long distances.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a strong engineering focus on damping control and ride feel. This unit is built to suit the chassis requirements of the BMW K 1200 LT in rear mono-shock form.

Who this shock is for

  • BMW K 1200 LT riders wanting a controlled, comfortable rear end for long-distance touring
  • Riders who regularly carry luggage and want stability as load varies
  • Anyone seeking a quality replacement rear shock with adjustability for setup

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 Adventure rear mono shock with a separated oil/gas design for consistent damping. The construction is intended to manage heat and maintain control across long rides and changing conditions.

Tuning controls

The shock includes rebound damping adjustment and compression damping adjustment, along with a spring preload adjuster to suit rider load and ride height preferences. These adjustments allow you to fine-tune comfort, support and stability without changing components.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for BMW K 1200 LT and rear mono mounting position before installation
  • Inspect linkage and mounting hardware condition, and service/replace worn bearings as required
  • Set sag and then refine preload, rebound and compression to suit your typical load (solo, luggage, pillion)

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance shocks, regular servicing helps maintain damping consistency and seal life. If ride quality changes over time or adjustment response becomes inconsistent, a service is recommended.
