The Ohlins BM549 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built for riders who want more control and composure from the rear of their BMW R 1100 RT across varied road surfaces. It focuses on consistent damping feel and stability when the pace changes or the surface deteriorates. Designed as a dedicated rear mono shock, it suits long-distance touring where comfort and confidence matter.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on repeatable damping performance and serviceable construction. This unit is part of the STX 46 Adventure family, aimed at riders who need dependable behaviour over long rides and changing conditions.

Who this shock is for

  • Touring riders seeking improved rear-end control and stability on the BMW R 1100 RT
  • Riders carrying luggage or a passenger who want a more supported, settled feel
  • Owners who want a premium, rebuildable rear shock rather than a disposable replacement

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated rear shock design intended to keep damping consistent under sustained use. The architecture is aimed at maintaining traction and stability over rougher surfaces while reducing harshness compared with a tired or underdamped original unit.

Tuning controls

This shock includes rebound damping adjustment and a remote hydraulic spring preload adjuster, allowing you to fine-tune ride control and rear ride height attitude to suit load and conditions.

Before you install

  • Set static and rider sag after installation, then fine-tune rebound to match your riding style and typical load
  • If you regularly tour two-up or heavily loaded, confirm spring suitability for your use case
  • Plan periodic servicing to keep damping performance consistent over the life of the unit
