The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Kawasaki Z900 is built to improve chassis control and damping consistency in everyday road riding. It uses Ohlins’ monotube architecture with separated oil and gas to better manage heat and reduce fade. The result is a more composed rear end under changing loads and road surfaces.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX 46 Street is designed to bring Ohlins damping behaviour to street-focused fitments. The construction is intended to deliver stable damping performance and clearer feedback, while keeping adjustment straightforward for road use.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders wanting more control and feel than a standard rear shock provides.
  • Owners who regularly adjust for different roads, tyres, or loads.
  • Those looking for improved stability and traction in normal street conditions.

Shock design & features

This is a rear mono shock using a monotube, gas-separated design (oil and gas are kept apart). That layout supports consistent damping and helps maintain control as conditions change during a ride.

Tuning controls

This shock provides damping adjustment for rebound. It also includes a length adjustment feature to fine-tune rear ride height and chassis attitude.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact model and year of Kawasaki Z900.
  • After installation, set static and rider sag correctly before assessing damping changes.
