The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock is designed to improve damping control and rear tyre contact for road riding on the Suzuki GSX-S1000 and KATANA. It uses a pressurised design to help maintain consistent damping over changing temperatures and riding conditions. As a replacement rear mono shock, it’s aimed at riders who want a more controlled, tuneable setup without turning the bike into a race-only package.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Built around Ohlins’ STX architecture, this unit focuses on stable chassis behaviour and predictable grip on real roads. The STX 46 Street range is intended for everyday performance riding where comfort and control both matter.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders chasing better rear-end control under acceleration, braking and mid-corner load changes
  • Owners who want external adjustability to suit different roads, tyres or riding pace
  • Street-focused setups where consistent damping feel is a priority

Shock design & features

This is a pressurised shock with oil and gas separated to reduce aeration and help maintain damping consistency. The STX layout is engineered to provide controlled damping response and improved feedback at the rear contact patch.

Tuning controls

You can adjust rebound damping and spring preload. These adjustments let you balance comfort, support and grip to suit your weight, tyre choice and typical road conditions.

Before you install

This unit is specified as a rear mono shock for the Suzuki GSX-S1000 and KATANA. It is supplied with an Ohlins spring fitted (01092-36). After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound to match the bike’s behaviour over bumps and during throttle transitions.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, it is designed to be serviced to keep performance consistent over time. Periodic servicing helps restore damping quality and ensures internal wear items and oil condition remain in spec.
