The Ohlins BM701 STX 36 Supersport rear shock is built for riders chasing clearer feedback and more consistent damping from the rear of their BMW. It uses a monotube, gas-pressurised design to maintain damping stability as conditions change. Developed from Ohlins racing experience, it focuses on control, traction and predictability without compromising day-to-day ride quality.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is designed around repeatable damping behaviour and reliable component quality. The STX 36 Supersport range is aimed at sporty road riding where chassis balance and rear grip matter most.

Who this shock is for

Suited to owners of BMW K 1200 GT and K 1200 RS who want sharper rear-end control and better composure during braking, corner entry and acceleration. It’s a good match for spirited road riding and track days where consistent damping response is important.

Shock design & features

This is a rear mono shock with a gas-pressurised monotube layout, separating oil and gas to reduce fade and maintain stable damping. The STX 36 architecture is designed to respond cleanly to rapid inputs while keeping the chassis settled across a wide range of road surfaces.

Tuning controls

Rebound damping adjustment is provided, allowing you to fine-tune how quickly the rear suspension returns after compression. This helps balance comfort, grip and stability depending on load, tyres and riding pace.

Before you install

Confirm fitment for your exact model and year of BMW K 1200 GT or K 1200 RS. For best results, installation and setup should be carried out by a qualified technician, including checking sag and ensuring the rebound setting suits your riding load and conditions.
