The Ohlins RE407 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built for the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, aimed at improving control and consistency on mixed surfaces. It’s designed to cope with changing loads and varying grip while keeping the chassis settled through rougher sections. This is a gas-separated design intended to maintain damping stability over longer, harsher rides.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins off-road and adventure suspension know-how, this unit focuses on predictable damping behaviour and reliable adjustment in real-world conditions. It’s engineered as a complete replacement rear shock to suit the Himalayan 450’s linkage and packaging.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders using the Himalayan 450 for adventure touring, unsealed roads and light off-road work where traction and composure matter. It’s also a practical choice if you regularly vary load with luggage or a passenger and want a more controlled rear end.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 Adventure series rear mono shock with separated oil and gas to reduce fade and maintain consistent damping. The architecture supports repeatable performance across long distances and sustained rough-road use.

Tuning controls

External adjustability is provided for rebound damping and for spring preload, allowing you to tune ride feel and ride height balance for surface conditions and load changes.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and check clearance around the reservoir and adjusters.
  • Set sag and preload for your typical riding load before fine-tuning rebound.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and adjuster accessibility once the bike is on the ground.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As an Ohlins unit, it is intended to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Periodic oil and seal service helps preserve damping consistency, particularly if you ride frequently in dust, water crossings, or sustained corrugations.
