The Ohlins SP549 is a rear STX 46 Supersport shock built for riders chasing clear chassis feedback and repeatable damping control. Its design follows Ohlins’ racing development approach, focusing on stable performance and predictable behaviour under load. This unit suits applications where consistent rear traction and adjustability are priorities.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX Supersport shocks are developed from competition experience, with an emphasis on controlled damping and reliable feel across a session. The SP549 is configured as a rear mono shock for the Spondon 250 fitment listed.

Shock design & features

  • Mono rear shock architecture
  • Oil/gas separated damping design (not emulsion)
  • Supersport-focused internal layout intended for consistent damping behaviour

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Hydraulic spring preload adjustment

Base setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with an Ohlins baseline setting from the factory. Use it as a starting point, then fine-tune rebound and compression to match tyres, track conditions, and riding style.

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for your Spondon 250 and rear linkage/clevis hardware before installation
  • Set sag and preload first, then adjust damping to suit
  • Inspect bearings, linkage condition, and mounting alignment to ensure the shock can work as intended

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced and re-valved as required. Regular oil and seal service helps maintain damping consistency and prolongs component life, particularly with track use.
