The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for Ducati 748, 916, 996 and 998 is built around a modern monotube design aimed at delivering predictable damping and clear tyre feedback. It is intended for riders chasing more control under braking, mid-corner stability and drive on corner exit. This unit uses a gas-pressurised layout to help maintain consistent damping during demanding use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing know-how, the STX 46 Supersport family is designed to provide a broad, usable tuning range with a focus on chassis balance and repeatability. It is a direct-fit rear mono shock application for the listed Ducati models.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders upgrading the rear end of a Ducati 748/916/996/998 for more controlled damping and feel
  • Trackday riders who want reliable adjustability for different tyres, surfaces and pace
  • Road riders seeking improved composure when braking hard and accelerating out of corners

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised, monotube rear shock with Ohlins STX architecture. The gas and oil are separated to improve damping consistency and reduce fade during sustained, high-load riding.

Tuning controls

This shock includes external rebound adjustment and compression adjustment, allowing you to tune support and response to suit rider preference and operating conditions.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact Ducati model and year within the 748/916/996/998 range
  • Set sag and baseline adjustments after installation to match rider weight and intended use
  • Inspect linkage and mounting hardware condition during fitment to ensure the shock can work as intended

Serviceability/lifecycle

As with other performance shocks, periodic servicing helps maintain damping performance over time. Service intervals depend on use intensity and operating conditions, with track use typically requiring more frequent attention than general road riding.
