The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for the Ducati 1198S is built around proven racing suspension architecture, with damping behaviour aimed at precise chassis control. It is designed to give clear tyre feedback and maintain consistency during hard braking and acceleration. This unit is intended for riders who want a more tuneable rear end than a basic replacement shock.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins road racing programs, the STX 46 Supersport range focuses on stability, grip and predictable response. On the Ducati 1198S it is tailored as a rear mono-shock application to suit the bike’s performance envelope.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who regularly ride fast road, track days, or are refining chassis balance for more confidence on corner entry and exit. It’s also appropriate if you value repeatable damping performance and want the ability to tune the rear suspension rather than set-and-forget.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised shock with oil and gas separated to help keep damping stable as temperatures rise. The STX 46 Supersport design is aimed at maintaining traction and composure under load changes, with a focus on controlled movement rather than excessive comfort bias.

Tuning controls

The DU811 provides rebound damping adjustment and compression damping adjustment, allowing you to shape how the bike settles after bumps and how it resists squat or pitch under throttle and braking. These external adjusters are intended to support structured setup changes without internal revalving for typical use cases.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Ducati 1198S and the intended linkage/ride height configuration before installation.
  • Set sag and damping from a known baseline, then change one variable at a time to evaluate results.
  • After initial rides, recheck all fasteners and inspect for clearance around the shock body and reservoir hardware.
