The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for the Yoshimura Tornado S1 is built around a modern monotube architecture aimed at consistent damping and clear feedback. It is designed to support precise chassis control when riding at higher pace, where repeatability matters. This unit uses a separated oil/gas design to help maintain stable damping behaviour over longer sessions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins road racing suspension experience, the STX 46 Supersport family focuses on controlled damping, traction and predictable support. The design intent is practical tuneability with reliable performance rather than a one-size-fits-all feel.

Who this shock is for

Suited to Yoshimura Tornado S1 riders who want a higher level of damping control for track use, fast road riding, or tyres with more grip than stock. It’s also a good match if you want a more structured platform under braking and acceleration, with the ability to fine-tune the response.

Shock design & features

This is a rear mono shock from the Ohlins STX 46 Supersport range, using a monotube layout with oil and gas separation. The construction is aimed at consistent damping and improved response to rapid changes in load, supporting stability through corner entry and drive on exit.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to balance support, grip and chassis attitude. It also includes a length adjuster to help fine-tune rear ride height and geometry to suit your setup and tyres.

Before you install

• Confirm clearance around linkages, exhaust routing and bodywork before final tightening.
• Check sag and spring preload after installation to suit rider weight and intended use.
• Make adjustments methodically, one change at a time, and note your settings as you go.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance shocks, this unit is serviceable and benefits from periodic maintenance to keep damping consistent. Service intervals depend on usage intensity and conditions, particularly for regular track work.
