The Ohlins SU202 STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built to deliver consistent, controlled damping for Suzuki GSX-R 1000 applications. Designed around Ohlins track-focused architecture, it aims to improve chassis stability and tyre contact through a wide range of riding conditions. It is a rear mono shock intended for riders who want a more tunable suspension package than standard.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX 46 Supersport is an Ohlins product family developed with circuit use in mind, focusing on predictable damping behaviour and repeatable setup changes. The design intent is clear feedback and stability under demanding riding, while retaining the adjustment range needed for different tyres and conditions.

Who this shock is for

• GSX-R 1000 riders doing regular track days who want more control and adjustability at the rear.
• Riders working with suspension settings to match different circuits, tyre choices, and riding style.
• Owners replacing a worn rear mono shock with a purpose-built Ohlins unit.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised rear mono shock in the Ohlins STX 46 Supersport family, aimed at consistent damping during repeated hard use. The damping character is designed to support traction and stability, particularly when the bike is being loaded heavily through braking and acceleration phases.

Tuning controls

The SU202 provides adjustable compression and rebound damping, allowing you to balance support and grip to suit your setup. These external adjustments are intended to make changes methodical and repeatable when you are dialling in chassis behaviour.

Before you install

• Confirm fitment for your specific Suzuki GSX-R 1000 model/year and any linkage or ride-height requirements.
• Plan your setup process: record baseline settings, then change one variable at a time when testing.
• If your bike is used on track, consider having sag and damping set by a suspension technician after installation.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As an Ohlins performance shock, routine servicing is part of maintaining consistent damping and keeping internal wear under control. A regular service schedule helps preserve performance, especially if the bike sees frequent track use.
