The Ohlins BM802 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is designed for the BMW F 800 GS, focusing on controlled damping and consistent feel across mixed surfaces. Built around Ohlins’ STX architecture, it suits riders who want a more composed rear end for everyday riding, touring and unsealed roads. This unit uses a separated oil and gas design to help maintain damping consistency as conditions change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a strong emphasis on damping control, ride feel and long-term serviceability. The STX 46 Adventure family targets real-world adventure use where traction and stability matter as much as comfort.

Who this shock is for

  • BMW F 800 GS riders chasing improved rear-wheel control on rough roads and gravel.
  • Adventure and touring use where stable handling is a priority.
  • Riders who value adjustability to suit changing loads and road conditions.

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear mono shock with a separated oil and gas layout for more stable damping under sustained use. The design is intended to deliver predictable response through the stroke and improved composure over uneven surfaces.

Tuning controls

The BM802 provides external rebound damping adjustment so you can fine-tune how quickly the shock returns after a bump. It also includes hydraulic spring preload adjustment for quicker changes when carrying luggage or a passenger.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact BMW F 800 GS model and year before installation.
  • Set sag and preload for your typical riding load, then fine-tune rebound to suit terrain and pace.
  • If your unit is being replaced, note this model has been superseded by BM 303.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are serviceable and intended to be maintained to keep performance consistent over time. Regular inspection and periodic servicing will help preserve damping quality, especially with frequent off-road or touring use.
