The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock is a purpose-built replacement unit for the Suzuki SV 650, aimed at improving control and consistency in real-world road riding. Built around a 46 mm piston architecture, it focuses on stable damping behaviour and clear feedback as conditions change. It is supplied as a complete rear mono shock with an Ohlins spring fitted.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins’ core suspension design principles, the STX 46 Street range brings race-derived damping control into a road-focused package. The goal is predictable chassis behaviour, improved tyre contact and a broader tuning window compared with stock suspension.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 monotube design using a separated gas and oil layout for consistent damping under load
  • Rear mono shock configuration suited to the SV 650 linkage arrangement
  • Supplied with an Ohlins spring fitted

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to control return speed after bumps and during corner exits
  • Compression damping adjustment to manage support under braking, acceleration and square-edge hits
  • Hydraulic spring preload adjustment for quicker ride-height and sag changes without tools on the rings

Base setup (factory preset)

This unit is delivered with an Ohlins baseline setting intended to be a sound starting point for street use. Fine-tuning is typically done around rider weight, tyre choice and the balance you want between comfort, support and grip.

Before you install

  • Confirm the motorcycle model and year compatibility for the SV 650 application before fitting
  • Set rider sag and re-check fasteners after initial bedding-in
  • If you change ride height or preload significantly, revisit damping settings to maintain balance

Serviceability/lifecycle

As an Ohlins unit, the shock is designed to be serviced and re-valved by a suspension specialist. Routine maintenance helps keep damping consistent over time, particularly if the bike sees frequent spirited road use.
