The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for the Kawasaki ZX-10R is built to deliver consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback under demanding riding. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain stability as conditions and temperatures change. Adjustment is provided for rebound, compression and ride height, allowing you to tailor the balance between support, grip and geometry.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing know-how, the STX 46 Supersport platform focuses on predictable response and dependable performance for modern superbikes. It is intended as a serious upgrade path for riders who want more control from the rear of the bike.

Who this shock is for

  • Trackday and fast road riders looking for clearer rear-end feel and more consistent behaviour.
  • Riders who want a shock that supports proper setup work with separate damping adjustments.
  • ZX-10R owners aiming to refine chassis attitude without compromising reliability.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Supersport architecture.
  • Gas-pressurised damping with oil/gas separation for stable damping characteristics.
  • Built around a single rear mono-shock fitment for the ZX-10R.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to control return speed and stability on corner exit.
  • Compression damping adjustment to manage support under load changes such as braking and acceleration.
  • Ride height adjustment to fine-tune steering response and chassis balance.

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for your exact Kawasaki ZX-10R model and year before installation.
  • Set sag and damping from a known baseline, then adjust methodically to suit tyres, pace and track conditions.
  • Inspect linkage bearings and mounts during installation, as wear here can mask shock performance.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is serviceable and designed to be maintained. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent and ensures adjustments remain meaningful as oil and seals age.
