The Ohlins KA443 STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built to deliver consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback on the Kawasaki ZX-10R. Developed from race-derived suspension architecture, it is intended for riders who want a more settled rear end under load and better drive out of corners. The damping system is gas-pressurised to maintain stability during demanding use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins Supersport shocks are designed to give predictable support and traction with a focus on repeatable feel. The KA443 sits in the STX 46 Supersport family, aimed at performance road riding and track use.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders chasing improved rear tyre contact feel and confidence when pushing harder
  • Track-day and spirited road riders who want more control than a standard rear unit
  • Owners who value adjustability for different tyres, loads, and conditions

Shock design & features

  • Gas-pressurised damping system to help reduce fade and keep damping consistent
  • Race-proven internal valving focused on traction and stability
  • Designed as a rear mono shock application for the ZX-10R

Tuning controls

This shock provides separate adjustment for compression and rebound damping, allowing you to tune support and grip to suit your riding conditions.

Before you install

  • Confirm suitability for your exact Kawasaki ZX-10R variant and model year before fitting
  • Set sag and damping from a known baseline after installation, then fine-tune one change at a time
  • Use the recommended Ohlins shock oil specified for this unit

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance shocks, the KA443 benefits from periodic servicing to keep damping consistent and protect internal components. Service intervals depend on use, with track work typically requiring more frequent attention than road riding.
