The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock is a dedicated replacement unit for the Ducati 916 R, built to deliver clear damping feel and stable chassis behaviour under load. Its STX architecture uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to maintain consistent damping through demanding riding. This is a mono shock intended for riders who want more controlled suspension response with the ability to fine-tune settings.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing suspension principles, the STX 46 Supersport platform is focused on predictable traction and feedback. The internal layout is designed to keep damping performance stable as temperatures and loads change.

Who this shock is for

  • Ducati 916 R riders chasing improved rear-end control and clearer feedback.
  • Trackday or fast-road use where consistent damping and stability matter.
  • Owners wanting external adjustability rather than a fixed, non-adjustable rear unit.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Supersport mono shock configuration.
  • Gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated construction for consistent damping behaviour.
  • Rear fitment for the Ducati 916 R.

Tuning controls

This unit provides external rebound damping adjustment and compression damping adjustment, allowing you to balance support, grip and stability to suit tyres, pace and track conditions.

Before you install

  • Confirm compatibility with your exact Ducati 916 R model and any linkage or ride-height changes already fitted.
  • Set sag and baseline adjuster positions after installation to suit your weight and intended use.
  • Use the recommended Ohlins oil grade specified for the unit during servicing.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As an Ohlins performance shock, the DU729 is designed to be serviced and revalved. Routine maintenance helps preserve damping consistency and ensures the adjusters continue to operate correctly over time.
