The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for Honda RC 51 / VTR 1000 SP1 is built around proven race-derived damping architecture for stable chassis control and consistent feel. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain damping control during demanding riding. Designed as a direct-fit rear mono shock, it provides a solid base for riders who want more precise suspension behaviour than a standard unit.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride
