The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the Suzuki GSX 1100 F is built to improve control and consistency when conditions and loads change. It is designed to maintain composure over long distances and uneven surfaces, while supporting stable handling with luggage or a pillion. Adjustment is provided to help you fine-tune the bike’s response for your riding style and terrain.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins suspension engineering, the STX Adventure platform focuses on predictable damping and durability for real-world touring and mixed-surface use. The intent is clearer feedback at the rear tyre and reduced rider fatigue on longer days.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders using the GSX 1100 F for adventure-touring and long-distance road work
  • Owners carrying luggage and/or a pillion and wanting more consistent rear support
  • Those who want external adjustment to tailor feel for changing conditions

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated monotube rear shock design, aimed at keeping damping performance stable as workload increases. The construction is intended for dependable function over rougher roads and extended rides.

Tuning controls

External damping adjustment is provided for rebound control, allowing you to refine how quickly the shock returns after compressions. Spring preload adjustment is included to help set ride height and support for different loads.

Before you install

  • Set sag and preload for your usual load (solo, luggage, or pillion) before adjusting damping.
  • Make damping changes one at a time and test on a familiar stretch of road.
  • Check clearance and fastener torque to the motorcycle manufacturer’s requirements after installation.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Periodic inspection and servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components, particularly for bikes used on rough surfaces or long-distance touring.
