The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built for riders who want more control and consistency from the Kawasaki ZZ-R 1100’s rear suspension. Developed from Ohlins racing experience, it focuses on accurate damping and clear chassis feedback. This unit uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain damping stability as conditions change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins Supersport products are engineered around predictable damping behaviour and repeatable setup changes. The aim is confidence at lean, stable support under load, and a controlled return after bumps and throttle inputs.

Who this shock is for

  • Street riders who want a more planted rear end and improved stability through corners
  • Sport riders chasing better chassis feedback and traction on imperfect surfaces
  • Owners refreshing worn suspension with a modern, tuneable replacement

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Supersport architecture focused on consistent damping and support
  • Gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated layout to reduce fade and maintain control during extended riding
  • Single rear mono shock configuration for the ZZ-R 1100 application

Tuning controls

  • Compression damping adjustment

Before you install

  • Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware for wear before fitting the new unit
  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit tyres, load and riding conditions
  • If your bike’s geometry or load requirements differ from standard, allow time for a tailored setup

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins rear shock is designed to be serviced to keep performance consistent over time. Routine oil and seal maintenance will help preserve damping quality and protect internal components.
