The Ohlins DU137 STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built for Ducati 999 Super stock applications where consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback matter. It is designed as a performance-focused rear mono shock for riders who want a suspension package that supports accurate setup work. As part of the STX 46 Supersport family, it’s intended for demanding road and track use where stability and traction need to be repeatable.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed around controlled damping behaviour and predictable response across changing conditions. The STX platform is engineered to give the rider a stable base to work from, with adjustability to tailor feel and balance without losing consistency.

Who this shock is for

This rear mono shock suits riders setting up a Ducati 999 Super stock who want improved control during braking, turn-in and corner exit. It’s also a good match if you regularly change tyres, gearing or ride at different tracks and want suspension that can be tuned to suit.

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated design, helping maintain damping consistency during sustained hard use. The STX 46 Supersport layout is aimed at delivering stable performance and clear feedback under load, with an architecture intended for precise damping control.

Tuning controls

The DU137 provides external adjustment for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to refine how the rear responds to bumps, weight transfer and drive out of corners. A threaded spring preload adjuster is also provided to set sag and balance front-to-rear attitude.

Before you install

• Confirm fitment for your Ducati 999 Super stock and check clearance through full suspension travel.
• Set rider sag first, then use compression and rebound adjustments to fine-tune grip and stability.
• Inspect linkage bearings and swingarm pivot condition, as wear here can mask suspension changes.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins rear shock is designed to be serviced and revalved as needed. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent, especially when the bike sees frequent track use or long periods between rides.
