The Ohlins BM735 STX 46 Street rear shock is built for the BMW G 310 R to improve chassis control and stability in real-world street riding. It uses a monotube design with a separated gas/oil system to keep damping consistent as conditions change. Setup changes are straightforward, with external adjusters to fine-tune the bike’s balance and grip.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road suspension is developed from the same engineering approach used in competition, then refined for durability and predictable feel on the street. The STX 46 Street range focuses on control, feedback and repeatable adjustment rather than harshness.

Shock design & features

• Monotube rear mono shock for direct damping response
• Separated gas and oil design (piggyback reservoir) for consistent damping under load
• STX 46 Street architecture aimed at improved stability and traction

Tuning controls

• Rebound damping adjustment to control how the shock returns after bumps and weight transfer
• Compression damping adjustment to manage support during braking, corner entry and sharp impacts

Base setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with a fitted spring and a factory baseline intended to suit typical road use. From that starting point, rebound and compression adjustments let you refine comfort, support and grip to match your riding style and load.

Before you install

• Confirm correct fitment for your BMW G 310 R and check clearance around the piggyback reservoir location
• Set static and rider sag after installation to get the best balance from the spring and damping
• Inspect linkage and swingarm bearings during installation, as worn pivots can mask suspension improvements

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Periodic oil and seal service helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components, especially if the bike sees frequent wet weather, commuting or spirited weekend riding.
