The Ohlins HO801 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built to improve control and comfort on the Honda VFR800FI when conditions and loads vary. It’s designed for consistent damping support across rougher surfaces and longer days in the seat. External adjusters let you tune the feel to suit your riding and the gear you carry.
Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride
Ohlins suspension focuses on stable chassis behaviour and predictable feedback. This rear mono shock is intended to give the VFR800FI better composure and ride quality in adventure and touring use.
Who this shock is for
- Riders using the VFR800FI for adventure-style touring on mixed road surfaces
- Owners who regularly add luggage or carry a pillion and want suspension that can be set up accordingly
- Anyone wanting clearer adjustability and more consistent damping support than a tired original shock
Shock design & features
This is an Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock with a monotube layout and a separating piston design to keep oil and gas separated for more consistent damping. It’s a direct-fit unit for the rear position and is supplied with an Ohlins spring as listed for this model.
Tuning controls
- Rebound damping adjustment
- Compression damping adjustment
- Hydraulic spring preload adjustment for quick load changes
Before you install
- Set sag and preload for your typical riding load (solo, luggage, or pillion)
- Start from the factory baseline settings supplied with the shock, then adjust rebound and compression methodically
- Inspect linkage and mounting hardware condition during installation, as worn bearings can mask suspension improvements
Serviceability/lifecycle
Like all performance shocks, this unit is designed to be serviced to maintain damping consistency over time. Regular servicing helps keep the internal oil condition and seal performance where they should be, especially when used in harsher adventure and touring conditions.
