The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for Ducati 748 Biposto, 916 Biposto and 996 Biposto is built around a track-focused monotube architecture for consistent damping under load. It uses a gas-pressurised design to reduce cavitation and maintain control as temperatures rise. External adjusters allow you to tailor the bike’s balance and grip for your tyres, pace and surface.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins road racing experience, the STX 46 Supersport platform targets predictable chassis behaviour and clear feedback. It’s intended for riders who want quality damping control without adding unnecessary complexity. Fitment is for rear mono-shock applications on the listed Ducati models.

Who this shock is for

  • Owners refreshing worn suspension with a modern Ohlins rear unit.
  • Riders doing spirited road riding or occasional track days who want tunability.
  • Those chasing improved stability and traction through corners and under braking.

Shock design & features

  • Monotube damper with gas-pressurised operation.
  • Oil and gas are separated to support consistent damping and response.
  • Ohlins Supersport valving approach aimed at controlled support and feel.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment.
  • Compression damping adjustment.
  • Spring preload adjustment for setting sag and ride height balance.

Before you install

  • Set rider sag and confirm the spring rate suits your weight and use.
  • Inspect bearings, linkages and mounting hardware so the shock can work freely.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and confirm damping adjusters move smoothly.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviceable. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and extends component life, particularly if the bike sees track use or harsh conditions.
