Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on control, traction and predictable feedback. This unit is part of the STX 46 Adventure family, intended for real-world durability and ride quality across long distances.

Who this shock is for

  • Adventure and touring riders who want stable, confidence-building rear suspension behaviour
  • Owners carrying luggage or a pillion who need extra support and adjustability
  • Riders looking for a serviceable, performance-focused replacement rear shock

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated monotube shock design, aimed at maintaining damping consistency as conditions vary. The STX architecture is intended to provide controlled movement through the stroke and improved chassis stability on rougher surfaces.

Tuning controls

The DU701 includes external adjusters for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing practical tuning for load, surface and riding pace without dismantling the shock.

Before you install

Confirm fitment for your specific Ducati ST 2, ST 3 or ST 4 variant and check surrounding clearance, linkage condition and bearings before installation. After fitting, set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression to match your typical load and roads.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a serviceable Ohlins unit, this shock can be maintained with periodic oil and seal service to keep performance consistent over time. Regular inspection is recommended if the bike sees frequent rough-road or all-weather use.
