The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for the Suzuki GSX 1100 R is built around race-derived damping control for more consistent chassis behaviour under braking, corner entry and acceleration. It’s designed to give clear feedback and a stable platform when you start pushing harder on road or track. This unit uses a gas-pressurised design to help maintain damping consistency as temperatures rise.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience, the STX 46 Supersport range focuses on controlled damping and predictable response. On the GSX 1100 R, that translates to improved stability and traction where it matters most: load changes, braking zones and corner exits.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders wanting a more planted rear end and improved feel compared with a basic rear shock.
  • Track day and fast road riders who value repeatable behaviour and clear tyre feedback.
  • Owners chasing a tunable setup for their riding style and conditions.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Supersport architecture with a gas-pressurised internal design.
  • Built for consistent damping control to help reduce fade during extended hard use.
  • Designed specifically as a rear mono shock application for the Suzuki GSX 1100 R.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment for controlling how quickly the shock extends after compression.
  • Compression damping adjustment for managing support under braking, load transfer and bumps.
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and sag to suit rider load and setup goals.

Before you install

  • Confirm your linkage, bearings and mounts are in good condition so adjustments aren’t masking wear.
  • Set sag and baseline clicker positions before making one change at a time.
  • If you’re changing tyres, ride height, or intended use (road vs track), plan on revisiting the setup.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is designed to be serviced and reconditioned to keep performance consistent over time. Routine servicing helps maintain damping quality, especially if the bike sees regular spirited riding.
