The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for the Kawasaki ZX-6R is built around a track-focused monotube design aimed at delivering consistent damping feel and clear chassis feedback. It uses a separated oil/gas layout to help maintain damping control as temperatures rise. Independent damping circuits allow you to tailor the bike’s balance for your tyres, pace and circuit conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins circuit experience, the STX 46 Supersport range is intended for riders who need precise control over rear-end support and traction. The architecture is designed to respond cleanly to rapid changes in load, such as braking transitions and throttle pick-up.

Who this shock is for

  • ZX-6R riders doing regular track days or supersport racing who want sharper rear grip management and stability.
  • Riders who value adjustability to suit different tracks, tyres and riding styles.
  • Owners replacing a tired OE unit and wanting a serviceable performance shock.

Shock design & features

This is a monotube STX 46 Supersport rear shock with separated oil and gas to support consistent damping performance. The design focuses on controlled oil flow and stable pressure management to keep behaviour predictable under sustained hard use.

Tuning controls

This shock provides external adjustment for rebound damping and compression damping, along with a threaded spring preload adjuster to set sag and ride height balance. These controls let you tune support, traction and how quickly the rear settles after bumps and corner exits.

Before you install

  • Set spring preload to achieve correct sag before evaluating damping changes.
  • Make one change at a time and record settings so you can return to a known baseline.
  • Check clearance, linkage condition and mounting hardware torque during fitment.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced so performance can be restored as oil and seals age. Regular servicing helps maintain damping consistency and keeps adjusters working as intended.
