The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Honda CBR500R is built to deliver controlled damping and clear chassis feedback for everyday road riding. It is designed as a direct-fit replacement to refresh suspension performance and support more consistent handling. This unit uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated damping design to help maintain stable behaviour over long rides.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road shocks draw on the same core damping principles used across the brand’s performance range, with a focus on predictable response and durability. The aim is improved control without compromising ride quality for street conditions.

Who this shock is for

Suited to CBR500R riders who want a more planted feel than the standard rear suspension can provide, particularly when pace increases or road surfaces become uneven. It is also a sensible option when the original shock is worn and no longer holds consistent damping.

Shock design & features

This is a mono rear shock from the STX 46 Street family, using a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated internal layout. That architecture is intended to keep damping more consistent during repeated suspension movement and temperature change. The unit is supplied with an Ohlins spring fitted.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to balance chassis stability with bump compliance. Spring preload adjustment is also included to help set ride height and sag to suit rider load and use.

Before you install

Confirm the motorcycle model and year compatibility for your CBR500R before fitting. After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression in small steps so changes are easy to evaluate. If your linkage bearings or swingarm bushes are worn, address those first to get the best result from the new shock.
