The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock is designed to improve damping control and chassis stability for street riding. Built around Ohlins monotube architecture, it uses a separated oil/gas layout to help keep damping consistent as conditions change. This unit is intended as a fit-for-purpose upgrade for riders who want clearer feedback and more controlled suspension movement.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX is Ohlins’ monotube shock platform developed from their broader competition and road program. The internal layout is aimed at predictable damping behaviour and durability for regular street kilometres, with a focus on control rather than comfort-only tuning.

Shock design & features

  • Monotube STX design with separated oil and pressurised gas
  • Rear mono-shock configuration for the listed Suzuki models
  • Built to provide consistent damping feel and improved chassis control on-road

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Base setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with an Ohlins baseline setup intended to suit the standard fitment and typical street use. Use the adjusters to fine-tune for rider weight, load, and road conditions once installed.

Before you install

  • Confirm the application and mounting style match your motorcycle
  • Check clearance around the shock body and adjusters after fitment
  • Set rider sag and then fine-tune rebound to control return speed without harshness

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins road units, this shock is designed to be maintained. Periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent and extends component life, particularly if the bike sees frequent riding or rough road surfaces.
