The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock is a purpose-built replacement for riders who want more control and consistency from their Honda CBF 1000 on the road. Built around Ohlins damping know-how, it focuses on stability, traction and predictable feel across a wide range of street conditions. This unit uses a gas-pressurised design to help maintain damping consistency during extended riding.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street shocks are developed to deliver clear chassis feedback and repeatable damping behaviour, with tuning flexibility to suit different rider weights, tyres and road surfaces. The STX platform is designed to balance comfort and control without turning the bike into a harsh ride.

Who this shock is for

Suited to CBF 1000 owners who want improved composure under braking and a more planted feel through corners compared with a tired or under-controlled OEM shock. It’s also a good fit if you want to fine-tune the rear of the bike to match your riding style and typical load.

Shock design & features

This is a monotube-style rear shock with a gas-pressurised internal layout to support consistent damping performance. The damping circuits are configured to provide separate control of compression and rebound behaviour, helping the rear tyre stay in contact with the road over bumps and during acceleration.

Tuning controls

• Rebound damping adjustment to manage how quickly the shock extends after a bump or weight transfer
• Compression damping adjustment to tune support and ride compliance under braking, bumps and corner loads
• Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and sag for rider weight and luggage

Before you install

• Confirm basic setup after fitment by setting sag and checking clearances at full travel.
• If your bike carries a passenger or luggage often, plan on adjusting preload to suit the added load.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are built to be maintained. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and extends component life, particularly if the bike sees frequent rough roads or sustained spirited riding.
