The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for Ducati 748, 916 and 996 is built around a dedicated performance architecture aimed at improving chassis control and tyre contact. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas-separated layout to maintain damping consistency when the pace rises. This unit is intended for riders who want predictable behaviour on fast road rides and track use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience, the STX 46 Supersport range focuses on stable damping control and clear feedback. The design targets grip and composure through corners and under braking, while keeping tuning straightforward.

Who this shock is for

  • Ducati 748, 916 and 996 riders wanting more controlled rear behaviour than a typical standard shock.
  • Track-day riders looking for consistent damping and a setup that responds clearly to adjustment.
  • Fast-road riders prioritising stability, traction and confidence over outright comfort bias.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Supersport rear mono-shock construction.
  • Gas-pressurised damping with an oil/gas-separated design to help resist fade during demanding use.
  • Built for repeatable damping performance and predictable chassis response.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to control return speed and rear stability on corner exit.
  • Compression damping adjustment to tune support under load changes such as braking and acceleration.
  • Threaded spring preload adjustment to set ride height balance and sag.

Before you install

  • Confirm compatibility with your exact Ducati model and year within the 748/916/996 range.
  • Set rider sag and check linkage/bearing condition so adjustments work as intended.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearance through full suspension travel.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is designed to be serviced to maintain damping performance over time. Regular servicing based on use conditions helps keep oil condition, seals and gas pressure where they should be for consistent feel.
