The Ohlins SU249 STX 46 Adventure Shock Rear is built to give the Suzuki RF 600 R a more controlled, composed rear end across mixed road and rough-surface riding. It is designed for consistent damping feel over long distances and changing conditions. The architecture supports stability when the bike is loaded, while keeping ride quality predictable.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on damping control, durability and service life. This rear mono shock is intended to improve chassis behaviour without making setup complicated. It suits riders who want a reliable baseline that can be fine-tuned to their weight and use.

Who this shock is for

  • Suzuki RF 600 R riders wanting better control and comfort for touring and rougher surfaces
  • Riders carrying luggage or a pillion who need steadier ride height behaviour under load
  • Owners who prefer a serviceable, upgradable rear shock rather than a sealed OEM-style unit

Shock design & features

This unit uses a piston-based design with oil and gas separated for more stable damping performance when conditions get rough. It is built as a rear mono shock package for the RF 600 R, intended to handle repeated impacts and long stints without inconsistent feel. The construction is designed to be maintained and rebuilt as part of normal ownership.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Hydraulic spring preload adjustment for convenient load changes

Before you install

  • Confirm your current linkage and mounting hardware condition before fitting any new shock
  • After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression to match your tyres, load and riding surfaces
  • If you frequently ride two-up or with luggage, use preload adjustment first before changing damping

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins rear shock is designed to be serviced, with wear items and oil replaced as part of periodic maintenance. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent and extends component life, particularly for bikes used on rough roads and long-distance touring.
