The Ohlins KA153 STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built for Kawasaki ZX-6R riders chasing consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback. Developed from Ohlins circuit experience, it is intended to support confident braking and cornering without compromising feel. It uses a gas-pressurised damping system to help maintain stable performance over a session.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins Supersport shocks are designed to deliver controlled damping behaviour and predictable handling changes as you tune. The aim is repeatable performance and communication at the tyre contact patch, especially when pace increases.

Who this shock is for

Suitable for riders using a Kawasaki ZX-6R in track riding and supersport-style use who want a purpose-built rear shock with a clear adjustment pathway. It suits riders who value traction feel and stability when pushing harder on corner entry and exit.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 Supersport rear mono shock with a gas-pressurised damping layout. The architecture is intended to provide consistent damping behaviour and reduce the likelihood of fade under sustained load.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping. These controls let you refine chassis attitude, support and tyre grip to suit riding style, track surface and tyre choice.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your Kawasaki ZX-6R and check overall condition of linkage bearings and mounts.
  • Set sag and balance front-to-rear before fine-tuning damping adjustments.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances through full suspension travel.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced and maintained so damping performance can be restored over time. Regular inspection and oil service help keep adjuster response consistent and protect internal components.
