The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock is built to improve suspension control and consistency on the Kawasaki Z 1000. Designed for road use with Ohlins race-developed damping know-how, it focuses on clearer feedback and more stable chassis behaviour. This unit uses a gas-pressurised damping system to help maintain consistent performance across varied conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street suspension is engineered to provide predictable support and refined damping feel for real-world riding. The STX 46 Street platform is intended to sharpen control without compromising day-to-day usability.

Who this shock is for

Suited to Kawasaki Z 1000 riders who want more stability and composure than a standard rear shock can deliver. It’s aimed at riders who value confidence under braking and smoother drive out of corners, and who want the option to tune damping to match load and riding style.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated rear mono shock design (not an emulsion type). The architecture is intended to support consistent damping behaviour and clear tyre contact feel across a wide range of road conditions.

Tuning controls

This shock provides rebound damping adjustment. Use rebound adjustment to fine-tune how quickly the rear returns after a bump or after weight transfer events such as braking and corner exit.

Before you install

  • Confirm the application is correct for your Kawasaki Z 1000 and that all supplied parts match your fitment requirements.
  • Check clearances around the shock body and any hose/reservoir routing (where applicable), and inspect linkage and bearings for wear before fitting.
  • After installation, set sag and verify damping settings suit your typical load (solo, luggage, or pillion).

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviceable. Regular inspection and periodic servicing help maintain damping consistency and component life, particularly if the bike sees frequent hard use or poor road surfaces.
