Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on consistent damping performance and durability. The STX Adventure series is intended for riders who want a more controlled, predictable rear end over long distances. It’s a purpose-fit rear mono shock for this model application.

Who this shock is for

  • Adventure and touring riders seeking improved stability and comfort from the rear suspension
  • Owners who ride on sealed roads as well as gravel, corrugations, and rougher tracks
  • Riders who want adjustability to suit terrain changes and day-to-day load variations

Shock design & features

This is a monotube STX 46 design with a piston arrangement that separates oil and gas to help maintain damping consistency in demanding conditions. The architecture is aimed at stable performance when the shock is working hard over extended rides.

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for your Honda XL 600 V Transalp before installation.
