The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Honda VFR750F is built to deliver controlled, consistent damping for everyday road riding and spirited weekend runs. It replaces the standard rear unit with a purpose-built damper designed to improve chassis composure and rear tyre contact over real-world surfaces. The design focuses on stability, feedback and predictable behaviour as conditions change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a clear emphasis on control and repeatability. This street-focused rear shock carries across proven damping concepts in a configuration suited to regular road use, helping the VFR750F feel more settled through corners and under braking.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want more support and feel from the rear of their VFR750F without turning the bike into a harsh ride. It’s a solid match if you ride briskly on the street, carry luggage occasionally, or simply want more consistent behaviour from the rear suspension as pace and road quality vary.

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated monotube shock architecture, designed to maintain damping consistency as the shock works hard. The separation of oil and gas helps reduce aeration and supports stable performance over longer rides.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to balance grip, support and ride comfort to suit your tyres, load and riding style. These controls are intended to help fine-tune chassis attitude and rear-wheel tracking rather than force a one-size-fits-all setting.

Base setup (factory preset)

The shock is supplied with an Ohlins baseline setup intended to suit typical street riding on the VFR750F. From there, small changes to damping can be used to refine compliance and stability as you learn what the bike responds to.

Before you install

• Confirm correct fitment for your exact VFR750F variant and year.
• Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware condition before installation.
• Set sag and damping after installation to suit your weight and normal load.
