The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for Honda CB500X and NX500 is built to deliver controlled damping and consistent chassis behaviour for everyday road riding. It’s designed as a direct replacement unit with a focus on stability, traction and clear feedback. This model uses a separated oil/gas damping layout for consistency during longer or harsher rides.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road shocks draw on proven damping concepts to improve composure and tyre contact without changing the character of the bike. The STX 46 Street range is aimed at riders who want a more controlled rear end and better confidence through changing road conditions.

Shock design & features

  • Rear mono-shock configuration for the CB500X and NX500 platform
  • Separated oil/gas design to help maintain consistent damping feel
  • Valving developed for predictable response and stability on the street

Tuning controls

This shock includes rebound damping adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune how quickly the rear suspension returns after a bump or load change. Rebound adjustment is useful for tailoring comfort and grip when riding solo, with luggage, or on rougher surfaces.

Is it right for you?

This unit suits riders who want a more planted rear end and improved control compared with a standard shock, especially when pace or load varies. If you mainly ride on-road and want an adjustable, purpose-built rear replacement for these Honda models, it’s a strong match.

Before you install

Confirm fitment for your exact model and year within the CB500X/NX500 range before installation. After fitting, set your sag and then adjust rebound in small steps to suit your tyres, load and road conditions.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviceable. Periodic servicing helps maintain damping consistency and internal condition over time, particularly if the bike sees regular commuting, wet conditions, or rough roads.
