The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for Honda VF 1000 F is built to deliver controlled damping and consistent feel across mixed surfaces and long days in the saddle. It’s aimed at riders who want predictable chassis behaviour when conditions change and loads vary. This unit uses a separated oil/gas design to help maintain damping stability as temperatures and pace increase.
