The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Honda CB1000R is built to improve chassis control and road feel with a modern monotube design. It uses a pressurised gas damping system to maintain consistent performance as temperatures rise. Designed for street-focused riding, it gives you practical adjustment to tailor comfort, grip and stability to your setup.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street suspension is developed with the same engineering approach used in competition products, then tuned for real-world roads. The goal is predictable damping, clear feedback and repeatable adjustment.

Who this shock is for

Suited to CB1000R riders who want a more controlled rear end than a standard shock can provide, whether commuting, weekend riding or occasional spirited runs. It’s a good fit if you value stability under braking and smoother drive out of corners, and you want the ability to fine-tune the feel.

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 46 Street rear mono shock with a gas-pressurised monotube layout. The gas and oil are not separated by an external reservoir, helping keep the package compact while maintaining damping consistency. Internal valving is developed to provide usable support and traction on the road.

Tuning controls

• Rebound damping adjustment to control how quickly the shock extends after compression.
• Compression damping adjustment to manage support and impact control as the rear suspension compresses.
• Spring preload adjustment to set ride height balance and suit rider/load.

Before you install

• Confirm the shock is listed for the Honda CB1000R application and that any supplied hardware matches your model.
• Set sag and preload for your weight and typical load before evaluating damping changes.
• After installation, check clearance through full suspension travel and recheck fasteners after the first ride.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced and tuned over their working life. Routine servicing helps keep damping consistent and ensures seals and oil remain in good condition, especially if the bike is used frequently or in harsh conditions.
