The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the Honda XL 750 Transalp is built for consistent damping control across mixed surfaces and long days in the saddle. It’s designed to maintain chassis stability when conditions change, from sealed roads to rougher tracks. External adjustability allows you to tailor feel and support to your riding and load without overcomplicating the setup.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed with Ohlins’ focus on precise damping behaviour and durability, this unit is aimed at riders who want a more controlled and predictable rear end in real-world adventure use. It suits those who regularly vary pace, terrain and carrying load.

Who this shock is for

  • Honda XL 750 Transalp riders mixing touring with unsealed-road travel
  • Riders carrying luggage or a pillion who want steadier ride height and control
  • Anyone chasing improved composure over corrugations and broken surfaces

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated monotube design from the STX 46 Adventure family, intended to deliver stable damping under sustained use. The architecture is built to manage heat and maintain consistency when the pace or terrain demands more from the rear suspension.

Tuning controls

Adjustability includes rebound damping and compression damping, giving you a practical way to influence rear-wheel control, support and ride feel. A hydraulic spring preload adjuster is included to make load changes (luggage/pillion) easier to manage.

Base setup (factory preset)

The shock is supplied with an Ohlins-fitted spring and a baseline setting intended for the target application. From there, small changes to preload, rebound and compression can be used to suit rider preference and typical loading.

Before you install

  • Confirm the correct application for Honda XL 750 Transalp and check clearance around the reservoir and adjusters.
  • Set sag and preload before fine-tuning damping.
  • Use the recommended Ohlins shock oil when servicing.
