The Ohlins BM706 STX 46 Street rear shock is a bolt-on replacement for the BMW F 800 S and F 800 ST, focused on controlled road performance and consistent damping. It uses a gas-pressurised internal design to reduce fade during sustained, spirited riding. Adjustment is provided to help match the shock to your load, tyres and riding style.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road shocks are built around stable damping characteristics and predictable chassis behaviour. This unit is part of the STX 46 Street family, developed to bring race-derived damping control to real-world road use without making the bike harsh or nervous.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders who want clearer feedback and better control from the rear of their F 800 S / F 800 ST.
  • Owners carrying luggage or a passenger who need more support and adjustability than the standard shock.
  • Track day riders wanting repeatable performance from session to session.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated rear mono shock. The internal layout is aimed at maintaining damping consistency as temperatures rise, helping the rear tyre stay planted under acceleration and during transitions.

Tuning controls

The BM706 provides rebound damping adjustment to fine-tune how quickly the shock extends after bumps and load changes. It also includes an adjustment for spring preload to set ride height and sag for different rider weights and loads.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for BMW F 800 S and BMW F 800 ST and check clearance around the reservoir and linkages.
  • Set sag with preload before making damping changes, then adjust rebound in small steps and test on a familiar loop.
  • Inspect bearings, linkages and mounting hardware condition during installation for best results.

Serviceability / lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced and revalved when required, which helps maintain performance over time. Regular servicing based on use conditions keeps damping consistent and protects internal components.
