The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Suzuki GSX-8R and GSX-8S is built to improve chassis control and tyre contact for road riding. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to keep damping consistent as temperatures change. This unit is intended as a quality replacement for the standard rear shock, with practical adjustment to suit different riders and conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins suspension know-how, the STX 46 Street range focuses on predictable damping response and clear feedback. The goal is stable support through braking, corner entry and acceleration, without making the bike harsh or vague.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders who want a more controlled, confidence-inspiring rear end on the road
  • Owners who regularly ride briskly and value consistent traction and stability
  • GSX-8R / GSX-8S riders looking for tunability beyond the OEM shock

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Street architecture with a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated layout for consistent damping
  • Designed to improve chassis feedback and maintain traction under load changes
  • Rear mono-shock configuration for the Suzuki GSX-8R and GSX-8S platform

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment

Before you install

  • Confirm the application and mounting orientation for your specific model and year
  • After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound to suit your roads, tyres and riding style
  • If your bike’s geometry or load changes (luggage/passenger), revisit setup to keep balance front-to-rear

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance dampers, this Ohlins shock is serviceable and intended to be maintained to keep performance consistent over time. Periodic oil and seal service helps preserve damping control and reliability as kilometres add up.
