The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the Honda VFR1200F is built to improve control and consistency across mixed road conditions. It uses a monotube layout with a separated gas and oil system to maintain damping stability as temperatures and loads change. Adjustability is provided so you can tailor the bike’s balance for solo riding, luggage or a passenger.
