Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on controlled damping, durability and serviceability. This unit is part of the STX 46 Adventure family, aimed at adventure and touring use where compliance and stability matter as much as feedback.

Who this shock is for

  • Honda VFR750F riders wanting a quality rear suspension upgrade for adventure & touring use
  • Riders carrying luggage or riding two-up who need better support and control
  • Owners looking for a serviceable, tuneable rear mono shock solution

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 Adventure-series rear mono shock with a separated oil and gas design to help maintain damping consistency. The architecture is intended to provide controlled response over rough surfaces and during extended riding, while remaining serviceable over its lifecycle.

Tuning controls

This shock provides external damping adjustment for rebound and compression, plus spring preload adjustment. These controls let you tune ride support and response for changing road surfaces, tyres, loads and rider preference.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact Honda VFR750F variant before installation
  • Set sag and preload for your riding load (solo, luggage, or two-up) before fine-tuning damping
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearance through full suspension travel

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Regular inspection and periodic servicing help keep damping consistent, especially for bikes used in rough conditions or high kilometres.
