The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock is a purpose-built upgrade for the Honda RC 51 / VTR 1000 SP1, aimed at riders chasing more consistent damping control and clearer chassis feedback. Built around Ohlins’ proven monotube architecture, it’s designed to maintain stability and traction when the pace increases. This unit is configured with external adjustments to help you tailor feel to tyres, track surface, or road conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience, the STX Supersport range focuses on predictable support and tunability without complicating the install. It’s intended for riders who want a firmer, more controlled rear end response than a typical standard shock can deliver.

Who this shock is for

  • RC 51 / VTR 1000 SP1 owners wanting improved rear-end control for spirited road riding or track days
  • Riders looking to fine-tune rear grip and stability with external adjusters
  • Anyone replacing a tired OEM shock and wanting serviceable, performance-focused damping

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX monotube shock with a gas-charged design that keeps damping response more consistent under sustained use. The layout uses a separate gas and oil arrangement rather than an emulsion-style mix, supporting stable performance when temperatures rise.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Remote hydraulic spring preload adjustment for easier changes without tools at the collars

Before you install

Confirm model compatibility for your exact RC 51 / VTR 1000 SP1 variant before fitting. After installation, set sag and then use the damping adjusters to balance support and compliance to suit your tyres and riding conditions.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be maintained rather than replaced. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components as mileage and heat cycles add up.
