The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX and Z 1000 SX is designed to improve chassis control and consistency for road riding. Built around Ohlins street-focused valving, it aims to deliver predictable damping and better tyre contact over varying surfaces. This unit is supplied as a replacement rear mono shock to suit the standard mounting arrangement.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street suspension draws from the brand’s competition experience, adapted for real-world road speeds and conditions. The focus is control and repeatability rather than harshness, with damping behaviour intended to remain stable as conditions change.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want a more controlled rear end on the road, particularly when braking, accelerating out of corners, or carrying load. It’s a good match for owners chasing clearer feedback and stability from the rear suspension without turning the bike into a track-only setup.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised design to help maintain damping consistency under sustained use. The STX 46 Street construction is intended to support stable oil control and predictable response through the stroke, improving traction and composure over uneven roads.

Tuning controls

This shock includes external rebound damping adjustment and a spring preload adjustment, allowing you to balance ride comfort, support, and rear-wheel control to suit your weight, tyres, and typical road conditions.

Before you install

  • Confirm the fitment for your exact model and year of Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX / Z 1000 SX before installation.
  • After fitting, set sag and then fine-tune rebound to match your riding conditions.
  • Inspect linkages and bearings during installation to ensure the shock can perform as intended.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance suspension, periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and internal components in good condition. Regular maintenance is especially important if the bike is ridden frequently in wet/dirty conditions or with heavy loads.
