The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built for riders who want predictable damping control and clear feedback from the rear of the bike. This unit uses a gas-pressurised design to help maintain consistent damping during sustained hard use. It is supplied as a complete rear mono shock for the Kawasaki GPZ 900 R.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins develops its road and track products around stable damping behaviour, repeatable adjustment, and long-term serviceability. The STX 46 Supersport range is aimed at riders who value controlled chassis movement and tuneability rather than an over-soft or over-stiff feel.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders improving rear-end control for spirited road riding and track days
  • Owners chasing more consistent feel under acceleration and braking load changes
  • Anyone wanting an Ohlins rear mono shock with external adjustments for tuning

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised rear shock with separated oil and gas to support more stable damping over longer runs. The STX 46 architecture is intended to keep damping response consistent as temperatures and working conditions change.

Tuning controls

This shock provides external rebound damping adjustment and external compression damping adjustment. Spring preload is adjustable to help set ride height and balance for rider weight and intended use.

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for your exact Kawasaki GPZ 900 R model and year.
  • Set sag and baseline adjustments after installation before evaluating handling changes.
  • If your linkage and swingarm bearings are worn, address these first so suspension changes are meaningful.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As an Ohlins performance unit, this shock is designed to be serviced and reconditioned. Periodic servicing helps maintain damping consistency and keeps the adjusters working as intended.
