The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the KTM 690 Enduro R is built to maintain chassis control and comfort when the terrain and load change over long rides. It is intended for riders who want a more controlled rear end off-road, with the ability to tune feel without dismantling the unit. The design suits mixed conditions where traction, stability and compliance matter.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins adventure-focused rear shocks are developed to cope with sustained rough surfaces, heat build-up and variable loads. This unit is designed as a complete replacement rear mono shock for your model application.

Who this shock is for

• Riders using the 690 Enduro R for adventure travel and extended off-road days.
• Those carrying luggage or occasionally riding two-up who want more consistent rear stability.
• Owners who want external tuning to suit changing terrain rather than a fixed, one-setting shock.

Shock design & features

This is a monotube shock with a separated oil and gas layout, helping maintain damping consistency under demanding conditions. The STX architecture is aimed at predictable response over corrugations, rocky climbs and repeated hits.

Tuning controls

External adjusters allow you to tune rebound damping and compression damping to suit grip levels, speed and load. Preload adjustment is also provided to set ride height and support when luggage or a pillion is added.

Before you install

• Confirm the shock is matched to your exact model and year variant before fitting.
• Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit the terrain you ride most.
• Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware during installation to ensure the shock can work as intended.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is designed to be serviced and reconditioned as part of normal suspension upkeep. Regular servicing helps maintain damping consistency and seal life, especially with frequent dust, water crossings and long-distance use.
