The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for Ducati 996 RS is a track-focused replacement unit built around the STX architecture for consistent damping control. It uses a pressurised gas-separated design to help maintain stability and feel as conditions and temperatures change. Adjustment is provided for rebound and compression damping to support dial-in of grip and chassis balance.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience, the STX 46 Supersport range is designed to deliver predictable response and clear feedback from the rear tyre. It suits riders chasing controlled support under braking, mid-corner composure and drive on corner exit.
