The Ohlins HO086 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built for the Honda XR 650 R, focusing on control and consistency across mixed terrain and long days. It is designed to manage changing loads and conditions while keeping the rear end composed. This unit uses a separated oil/gas design to help maintain stable damping during extended, rough use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins off-road experience, the STX Adventure platform is aimed at riders who want predictable suspension behaviour and durability in demanding environments. It is suited to travel where surface conditions and pace can change quickly.

Who this shock is for

  • XR 650 R riders setting the bike up for adventure and touring use
  • Off-road riders who need consistent rear control over corrugations and repeated hits
  • Owners who want a quality shock with external adjustments for on-the-bike tuning

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear mono shock with a remote reservoir, separating oil and gas to reduce fade and support more consistent damping. The architecture is aimed at maintaining control under heat and sustained workload, particularly when the bike is ridden hard or loaded for travel.

Tuning controls

Adjustments are provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to tailor the feel for traction, terrain and load changes. Spring preload adjustment is also provided to set ride height and balance for different rider weights and luggage.

Base setup (factory preset)

The shock is supplied with an Ohlins base setting intended as a starting point for the XR 650 R. From there, fine-tuning is typically done to suit your riding speed, terrain, and how the bike is loaded.

Before you install

  • Confirm clearance and mounting condition on the bike before fitting
  • Set sag and preload correctly before making damping changes
  • After initial fitment, re-check fasteners and settings once the shock has bedded in
