The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built for riders chasing consistent feel and predictable chassis behaviour on a Kawasaki ZX-7R. Based on Ohlins circuit experience, it focuses on clear feedback under braking and drive grip on corner exit. This unit uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated damping layout to help maintain damping consistency over long sessions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins’ supersport platform, this shock is intended to deliver controlled damping response with a direct connection to tyre load changes. It is designed to suit performance-focused road riding and track use where repeatability matters.

Who this shock is for

Suited to ZX-7R riders who want a sharper, more adjustable rear end than standard equipment. If you regularly change tyres, ride at pace, or want to tailor the bike for different circuits or road conditions, this platform is aimed at that use.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 Supersport rear mono shock with a gas-pressurised damping system. The separated oil/gas design supports stable damping behaviour during sustained use and helps keep response consistent as conditions change.

Tuning controls

The shock provides external rebound damping adjustment and compression damping adjustment for balancing support versus compliance. It also includes length adjustment to help fine-tune rear ride height and chassis attitude.

Before you install

  • Confirm the correct fitment for your Kawasaki ZX-7R and inspect bearings and linkage condition before installation.
  • Set sag and baseline damping after fitment to suit your rider mass, tyres, and intended use.
  • If you change ride height, re-check chain slack and steering geometry, then road/track test progressively.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance shocks, periodic servicing helps maintain damping quality and seal condition. Regular oil and wear-part replacement is recommended to keep performance consistent over time.
