The Ohlins DU626 STX 46 Blackline rear shock is built to improve control and ride quality on the Ducati XDiavel while keeping a refined, classic look. It’s designed as a rear mono shock with a focus on consistent damping and practical adjustability for real-world road use. The Blackline finish suits custom and cruiser-style builds without compromising suspension function.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road shocks are developed around stable damping behaviour and predictable feedback. This unit is part of the STX 46 Blackline family, combining modern internal design with a heritage-inspired finish for street and custom applications.

Who this shock is for

Ideal for XDiavel riders looking for a more controlled rear end under acceleration, braking and cornering, with the ability to fine-tune feel for different loads and riding conditions. It suits owners who value adjustability and serviceable suspension rather than a fixed, disposable replacement.

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 46 Blackline rear mono shock using a separated oil/gas design to help maintain damping consistency as conditions change. The construction and finish are selected to suit street bikes with a premium appearance, especially on custom-styled builds.

Tuning controls

• Rebound damping adjustment to control how quickly the shock extends after compression
• Compression damping adjustment to manage support and firmness when the suspension loads up
• Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and accommodate rider/load changes

Before you install

• Confirm correct fitment for Ducati XDiavel and check clearance around exhaust and bodywork
• Set sag and preload for your typical riding load before adjusting damping
• If you’re changing ride height or load substantially, re-check chain/belt alignment and fastener torque per workshop procedure

Serviceability/lifecycle

As with other Ohlins units, this shock is intended to be serviced to keep performance consistent over time. Regular inspection and periodic servicing helps maintain damping quality, especially if the bike sees frequent riding or heavier loads.
