The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for the Kawasaki ZX-9R is built around a focused monotube architecture to provide clear chassis feedback and controlled damping under load. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain damping consistency during demanding road and track use. Adjustment is provided for rebound and compression damping so you can tailor feel and support to your setup.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing know-how, the STX Supersport range is aimed at riders who want predictable grip and stability from the rear of the bike. The emphasis is on control and feel rather than comfort-first compliance.

  • ZX-9R riders upgrading from a tired or underdamped OEM rear unit
  • Track day and spirited road riders who want more consistent rear support
  • Riders looking for a suspension foundation that can be tuned for tyres, pace and riding conditions
