The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Honda VFR800FI is built to improve damping control and rear-end stability in real-world riding. Developed from Ohlins race-derived suspension design, it focuses on consistent feel and predictable behaviour under load. This unit is supplied with a fitted spring and is intended as a direct rear mono replacement.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX Street shocks are designed around controlled damping performance and long-term durability for road use. For the VFR800FI, this rear unit targets improved chassis composure and clearer feedback compared with a tired or basic OE shock.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 Street series rear mono shock with a gas-pressurised damping system. The design separates oil and gas to help maintain consistent damping performance as conditions change during a ride.

Tuning controls

This shock provides external damping adjustment for rebound. It also includes threaded spring preload adjustment to set ride height and sag to suit rider weight and load.

Base setup (factory preset)

The damping and spring specification are supplied by Ohlins for the intended application, with a fitted spring installed. Fine-tuning is then done via preload and rebound adjustment to match your rider weight, luggage and riding style.

Before you install

  • Confirm the motorcycle model and year match your Honda VFR800FI fitment requirement.
  • Set sag after installation using the preload adjuster.
  • Record your original settings before making changes so you can return to a known baseline.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, this shock is serviceable and intended to be maintained over its working life. Regular servicing helps preserve damping consistency and component condition.
