The Ohlins STX 46 Blackline rear shock for the BMW K1600 is built to deliver controlled damping and consistent support for road use. It combines a classic Blackline appearance with modern internal design to improve stability and comfort without changing the character of the bike. External adjusters let you tailor the feel to suit your riding conditions and typical load.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road suspension is designed for predictable grip, clear feedback and long-distance composure. The Blackline finish is a styling-focused option that still uses Ohlins’ proven damping approach for real-world riding.

Who this shock is for

  • BMW K1600 riders who want a more composed ride on touring roads and uneven surfaces
  • Owners who carry varying loads and want the ability to tune the rear suspension
  • Riders seeking quality damping control with a premium, understated Blackline look

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 46 series rear shock with oil and gas separated to help keep damping consistent as conditions change. It is designed as a direct-fit rear unit for the K1600 application, with the Blackline finish complementing custom and factory styling.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Preload adjustment

Before you install

  • Set sag and preload for your typical load (solo, luggage, or pillion) before fine-tuning damping
  • Make damping changes one adjustment at a time to keep the direction of change clear
  • Check surrounding linkages and bearings are in good condition so the shock can work as intended

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other performance shocks, this unit is serviceable and can be maintained over time to keep damping performance consistent. Periodic inspection and scheduled servicing based on use and conditions will help preserve ride quality and control.
