The Ohlins KA305 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built to improve control and comfort on a Kawasaki ZZ-R 600 when conditions and loads vary. It is designed for consistent damping behaviour over longer rides and mixed surfaces, helping the bike stay composed. This unit suits riders who want more tuning range and support than a basic OEM-style replacement.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on predictable handling and repeatable tuning. The KA305 uses an STX 46 architecture intended for adventure and touring use where stability, comfort and load capacity matter.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders doing touring and long-distance road use who want better ride quality and control
  • Owners who regularly change load (luggage or passenger) and need adjustability to match
  • Anyone chasing more stability over rougher roads and inconsistent surfaces

Shock design & features

This is a rear mono shock in the Ohlins STX 46 Adventure family. It uses an oil/gas separated layout to help maintain damping consistency under sustained use.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping, compression damping, and spring preload. These external controls let you balance comfort, support and chassis attitude for your riding style and typical load.

Before you install

  • Confirm model fitment for your Kawasaki ZZ-R 600 and check clearance around the shock and linkage
  • Set sag and preload to suit your riding weight and typical load
  • Record your starting settings so you can make changes methodically

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Periodic inspection and servicing will help keep damping consistent as hours and conditions accumulate.
