The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock is built to improve control and ride quality on the Suzuki GSF 650 Bandit. It uses a pressurised design to keep damping consistent as conditions change. This unit is intended for riders who want a more settled chassis and clearer feedback without compromising everyday usability.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins’ road and race experience, the STX 46 Street range focuses on predictable damping behaviour and robust, serviceable construction. The result is a rear end that stays composed through bumps, braking and acceleration inputs. It’s a practical upgrade for riders who value feel and stability.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Street rear mono shock architecture.
  • Gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated damping design to help maintain consistent performance.
  • Valving aimed at improving traction and chassis stability in real-world street riding.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to tune how quickly the shock extends after a bump or load change.
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and support for rider load and luggage.

Base setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with an Ohlins-recommended baseline setting and spring configuration for the intended application. From there, rebound and preload can be refined to suit rider weight, tyres, and typical road conditions.

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for your exact model and year of Suzuki GSF 650 Bandit before installation.
  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound to control wallow, harshness, and tyre contact feel.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances through the full suspension travel.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins units are designed to be maintained, not treated as disposable. Periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent and extends component life, particularly if the bike sees frequent rough roads or higher loads.
