The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for Suzuki GSX-8R and GSX-8S is built to deliver controlled damping and predictable chassis behaviour in everyday road conditions. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain consistent response as temperatures and riding pace change. The result is clearer feedback at the tyre contact patch and more confidence when loading the rear under braking and acceleration.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins race engineering, this unit focuses on stability and traction without compromising street practicality. It is intended as a complete replacement rear mono shock for the GSX-8 platform.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders who want more composure and grip compared with a standard rear shock on road rides.
  • Owners who regularly change pace or road surface and want damping that stays consistent.
  • Riders looking for a serviceable, tuneable rear shock solution for the GSX-8R / GSX-8S.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Street architecture with a gas-pressurised damping system.
  • Oil/gas separated design to support stable damping behaviour during extended riding.
  • Valving aimed at improving rear traction and chassis control in real-world street use.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment.
  • Compression damping adjustment.
  • Spring preload adjustment (via fitted spring).

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact model and year of Suzuki GSX-8R or GSX-8S.
  • Set sag and preload correctly before fine-tuning rebound and compression.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances once the bike has been cycled through full suspension movement.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins rear shock is designed to be serviced and re-valved as needed, supporting long-term performance rather than being treated as a disposable component. Regular servicing helps maintain damping consistency and internal wear control over time.
