The Ohlins BM941 rear shock is a dedicated street unit for BMW R 100 RS, R 100 RT, and R 80 RT models. Built around Ohlins’ STX architecture, it’s designed to deliver consistent damping control and clearer feedback from the rear tyre. The internal layout uses a pressurised gas design to help maintain damping consistency during extended riding.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is engineered to manage wheel movement with control and repeatability, improving stability and composure without sacrificing feel. This rear shock is intended for road use where predictable support and controlled compliance matter most.

Shock design & features

  • Pressurised oil and gas separated design to support consistent damping behaviour
  • STX 46-series shock architecture for stable damping performance on the street
  • Rear mono-shock fitment for the listed BMW models

Tuning controls

This shock provides external rebound damping adjustment, plus external compression damping adjustment. These controls allow you to tailor the shock response to your load, tyres, and preferred ride feel.

Base setup (factory preset)

Supplied with an Ohlins baseline setting intended as a workable starting point for road riding. From there, rebound and compression can be adjusted to suit comfort, support under braking, and rear-end stability through corners.

Before you install

  • Confirm model compatibility for BMW R 100 RS, BMW R 100 RT, and BMW R 80 RT, and verify rear mono-shock fitment on your exact year/variant
  • Inspect suspension linkages and mounting hardware for wear before fitting a new shock
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and evaluate settings after your first ride

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Routine servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components, particularly if the bike is used regularly or stored for long periods between rides.
