The Ohlins DU580 STX 46 Adventure Shock Rear is a rear mono shock developed for adventure and touring use on the Ducati Desert X. It is built around a gas-separated design to keep damping consistent when conditions and load change. External adjusters allow practical tuning for mixed surfaces without altering the core character of the bike.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is engineered with a focus on control, durability and repeatable damping. This unit targets stability and comfort across long days, variable terrain and changing loads.

Shock design & features

  • Rear mono shock architecture suited to adventure and touring applications
  • Gas-separated construction for stable damping behaviour
  • STX 46 Adventure family layout intended for demanding real-world conditions

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Is it right for you?

  • Designed for Ducati Desert X (not the Rally version)
  • Fits riders who want more control and composure across varied surfaces and loads
  • A good match if you prefer a tunable setup rather than a fixed “set and forget” shock

Before you install

  • Confirm model compatibility and note the exclusion for the Rally version
  • After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit your riding and load

Serviceability/lifecycle

This is a rebuildable Ohlins shock designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent, especially with frequent off-road use.
