The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built to deliver consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback on the Kawasaki ZX-6R. Developed from Ohlins racing experience, it targets stability under load and improved traction as conditions change. This unit uses a gas-pressurised damping system to help maintain performance during sustained hard riding.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX 46 Supersport shocks are engineered around track-focused control and durability, with valving aimed at predictable feel through braking, turn-in and drive. The intent is repeatable behaviour rather than a one-off “set and forget” feel.

Who this shock is for

  • ZX-6R riders chasing stronger rear-end support and clearer feedback for track days and fast road use
  • Riders who want access to external damping adjustments for dialling in grip and stability
  • Anyone looking to replace a tired OEM shock with a purpose-built Ohlins unit

Shock design & features

  • Gas-pressurised damping architecture to help reduce fade during extended hard use
  • STX 46 Supersport construction derived from race-developed design principles
  • Valving designed to improve traction on corner exit and stability under heavy braking loads

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment

Before you install

  • Check shock fitment for your exact ZX-6R model/year and any linkage or clearance considerations
  • Set sag correctly and confirm the spring fitted suits rider weight and intended use
  • After installation, make changes one adjustment at a time and record settings to track results

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance dampers, this shock is designed to be serviced to maintain damping consistency. Regular servicing helps keep oil condition, seals and gas pressure within the range needed for predictable performance.
