The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for the Kawasaki ZX-12R is built around proven race-derived damping architecture to improve rear tyre contact and chassis stability. It is a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design intended to deliver consistent damping during hard use. This unit is supplied as a direct-fit replacement rear mono shock.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins supersport experience, the STX 46 platform focuses on controlled damping behaviour and clear feedback. The design targets stability under braking, traction on corner exit, and predictable response as conditions change.

Who this shock is for

  • ZX-12R riders wanting more control and consistency from the rear suspension
  • Track day riders seeking better stability and traction with adjustable damping
  • Road riders who value accurate chassis feel and a more controlled ride
