The Ohlins DMX0103 STX 46 MX is a rear mono shock absorber built for motocross and enduro use on the Kawasaki KX 85. It uses a separated oil/gas design to keep damping consistent as conditions change. With external adjustments for both compression and rebound, it gives you practical control over grip, balance and chassis response.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on controlled damping, predictable feedback and tunability. The STX 46 MX family is designed to handle repeated high-load impacts and fast direction changes typical of motocross riding.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders looking to tune rear-end traction and stability for motocross or enduro conditions
  • Owners who want clear adjustment control without changing internal parts
  • Builds where the shock is being set up around rider weight and track surface (spring sold separately)

Shock design & features

This unit uses a piston and reservoir-style architecture with oil and gas separated to reduce fade and maintain damping control through a moto. The layout supports consistent performance when the shock is working hard over braking bumps, landings and acceleration chop.

Tuning controls

External adjusters are provided for compression damping and rebound damping. Compression adjustment helps manage support and hold-up under load, while rebound adjustment controls how the rear returns after impacts to maintain grip and stability.

Before you install

  • Spring is not supplied; select the correct spring separately as noted for this model
  • Plan a baseline setup after installation so clicker changes are meaningful and repeatable
  • Use the recommended Ohlins oil noted for this application when servicing

Serviceability / lifecycle

This Ohlins shock is designed to be serviced and revalved as needed. Regular oil and seal maintenance helps keep damping performance consistent and extends component life, especially in abrasive motocross conditions.
