The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock is built for riders who want more controlled damping and clearer chassis feedback on the road. Designed as a direct-fit replacement for the Suzuki GSF 1200 Bandit, it focuses on stability, traction and consistency over varied street surfaces. This unit uses a gas-charged, oil/gas separated design to help maintain stable damping under sustained use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road shocks draw from the same core damping principles used in competition, adapted for real-world street riding. The STX platform is intended to deliver predictable response and support without compromising everyday ride quality.

Who this shock is for

  • Bandit 1200 riders who want improved control during cornering, braking and acceleration on the street
  • Riders looking for more consistent damping feel over bumpy or flowing roads
  • Owners who prefer a serviceable performance shock rather than a disposable OE-style unit

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 architecture for controlled, consistent damping
  • Gas-charged, oil/gas separated design to support damping stability under heat and repeated use
  • Purpose-built rear mono fitment for the Suzuki GSF 1200 Bandit

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to tailor how quickly the shock returns after compression
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and support for rider/load

Before you install

  • Set sag and preload for your weight and typical load (solo, luggage or pillion)
  • Start from the factory preset damping settings, then make changes one adjustment at a time
  • Check linkage bearings and mounting hardware condition during installation

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is designed to be maintained and revalved as needed, helping keep performance consistent over the long term. Regular servicing based on use and conditions will support seal life, oil condition and damping repeatability.
