The Ohlins BM744 is a rear STX 46 Street shock designed for BMW’s R 1200 C, R 1200 C Independent and R 850 C models. Built around Ohlins road-going performance know-how, it focuses on consistent damping behaviour and clear feedback at the tyre. The design uses a pressurised, oil/gas separated architecture to help maintain control across changing road conditions.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact model/variant: BMW R 1200 C, R 1200 C Independent, or R 850 C
