The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled (Kayaba) is built to improve damping control and chassis stability in real-world street use. Developed from Ohlins suspension know-how, it focuses on predictable traction and a more settled feel through braking and cornering. It is a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain consistent performance as conditions change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

This unit is part of the Ohlins STX 46 Street range, designed for riders who want a controlled, confidence-inspiring rear end without turning the bike into a race-only setup. The goal is clear feedback and stability over a wide range of road surfaces.

  • Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled owners looking for improved rear-wheel control and traction on the street
  • Riders wanting more stability during braking and corner entry/exit
  • Those who value adjustability to suit load, roads and riding style

Shock design & features
