The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the BMW R 1100 RT is built to deliver controlled damping and stable chassis behaviour for road riding. It uses a pressurised gas damping system to help maintain consistency as conditions change. The design supports precise tuning so you can match the bike to load, tyres and riding style.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience and adapted for street use, the STX 46 Street range focuses on predictable grip and feedback. For the R 1100 RT, it targets improved stability and composure without sacrificing ride quality.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders looking for a more controlled and settled rear end on the road
  • Owners who ride with varied loads and want adjustable damping
  • Anyone chasing clearer feedback during braking and cornering

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised rear mono shock from the Ohlins STX 46 Street family. The pressurised design is intended to support consistent damping behaviour and stability during sustained use.

Tuning controls

The shock provides rebound damping adjustment and a spring preload adjuster, allowing you to balance support and comfort for your setup. These adjustments help tailor the bike’s response to road conditions, riding pace and carried weight.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for BMW R 1100 RT and rear mono position before installation
  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound to suit your riding
  • Inspect bearings and mounting hardware condition during the swap

Serviceability/lifecycle

As with any performance shock, periodic servicing helps maintain damping quality over time. Keeping oil and seals fresh supports consistent operation and long-term reliability.
