The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the BMW R 1100 RT is built to deliver controlled damping and consistent chassis behaviour for road riding. It uses a gas-separated design to help maintain stable damping over long runs and varying temperatures. This unit is intended as a direct-fit rear replacement focused on traction, comfort and predictable feedback.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience and refined for everyday road use, the STX 46 Street range prioritises stability, support and composure. On the R 1100 RT, it targets improved control under braking and through corners without making the bike feel harsh.

Shock design & features

  • Gas-separated rear shock design to reduce fade and maintain damping consistency
  • STX 46 Street architecture tuned for road-going loads and surface changes
  • Built for rear-fitment applications on BMW touring platforms

Tuning controls

This shock provides rebound damping adjustment and a threaded spring preload adjuster. These controls allow you to balance comfort and support, and to compensate for changes in load such as luggage or a passenger.

Base setup (factory preset)

Supplied with an Ohlins baseline setting intended to suit typical street conditions. Fine-tuning rebound and preload can be used to match tyre choice, rider weight and how the bike is loaded for commuting or touring.

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for BMW R 1100 RT and check all mounting hardware condition
  • Set sag using preload before making rebound changes
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances through full suspension travel

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a rebuildable Ohlins unit, regular servicing helps keep damping performance consistent over time. Service intervals depend on use, road conditions and operating hours.
