The Ohlins KA401 STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built to provide controlled, consistent damping on the Kawasaki ZX-4RR and ZX4-R. Based on Ohlins circuit development, it is intended for riders who want clear chassis feedback and a stable platform under hard acceleration, braking and fast direction changes. This unit uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain damping consistency during sustained hard use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing know-how, the STX 46 Supersport platform focuses on repeatable damping behaviour and predictable tyre contact. It is designed to be tuned to suit your pace, tyres and track conditions without losing ride feel.
