The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the Highland 900 is built for riders who need predictable damping and stability across mixed surfaces. It is designed to maintain control over rough tracks while supporting real-world loads such as luggage or a passenger. This unit uses a separated oil and gas design to help keep damping consistent as conditions change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience and adapted for adventure and touring use, this shock is intended to deliver controlled wheel movement and a composed chassis feel. The focus is on usable traction, comfort and confidence rather than harshness.

Who this shock is for

  • Highland 900 riders covering long distances on sealed roads, gravel and uneven terrain
  • Riders who regularly vary load with luggage and/or a pillion and want suspension that can be tuned to suit
  • Owners looking for a rebuildable, serviceable rear shock solution

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 46 Adventure series rear mono shock. The internal architecture separates oil and gas to better manage heat and reduce damping fade during extended, rough riding. The construction is aimed at durability and consistent performance in demanding conditions.

Tuning controls

The shock includes external damping adjustments for both compression and rebound, allowing you to adapt the feel for terrain, pace and load. It also includes a remote hydraulic spring preload adjuster to set sag quickly when adding or removing luggage or a passenger.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for the Highland 900 rear mono position before installation
  • This unit is supplied with an Ohlins spring fitted (part number 00698-21)
  • After installation, set rider sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression based on grip, comfort and control

Serviceability / lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, this shock is intended to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Regular inspection and periodic servicing help keep damping consistent, particularly for frequent off-road or heavily loaded use.
