The Ohlins HO203 STX 46 Adventure Shock Rear is built to improve control and consistency on the Honda VFR800FI across touring and mixed-surface riding. It is designed to handle changing loads and road conditions while maintaining predictable damping behaviour. This unit uses a separated oil and gas design to better manage damping stability as conditions vary.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride
