The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for Ducati 748, 916 and 996 is built to give predictable damping control and clear chassis feedback for spirited road riding and track use. This unit uses a gas-separated damping design to help maintain consistency as temperatures and loads change. It’s a direct-fit rear mono shock intended for riders who want more tuning range and stability without moving to a full race specification build.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins motorsport suspension architecture, the STX Supersport line focuses on control, traction and repeatability. The damper design is aimed at maintaining stable behaviour through braking, turn-in and acceleration. It’s a practical performance upgrade for riders who tune and service their suspension rather than treating it as a sealed component.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Supersport rear mono shock format for Ducati fitment
  • Gas-separated oil and gas layout for consistent damping behaviour
  • Built for serviceability and revalving to suit rider weight, tyres and riding conditions
  • Spring is supplied fitted (as delivered by Ohlins for this part number)

Tuning controls

This shock provides external damping adjustments for rebound and compression, plus spring preload adjustment. These controls let you balance support and grip to match your riding style, typical road surface, and track pace without altering internal valving.

Before you install

  • Confirm your Ducati model and year compatibility for 748, 916 and 996 fitment before installation
  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound and compression to control pitch and improve traction
  • Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware condition so the shock can work as intended

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins performance dampers, this unit is designed to be serviced to keep damping consistent over time. Regular oil and seal maintenance helps maintain feel and control, especially if the bike sees frequent track use or rough road conditions.
