The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Suzuki M 1500 is built for riders who want a more controlled, composed feel from the rear end in real-world road conditions. It uses a monotube architecture with a separated gas and oil arrangement to keep damping consistent as temperatures and loads change. The result is clearer feedback and more predictable chassis behaviour without making the bike feel harsh.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins motorsport experience and adapted for street use, this unit focuses on stability, traction and control. It’s intended to improve how the bike settles through bumps, braking transitions and corner exits.

Who this shock is for

  • Street riders who want improved rear grip and reduced wallow over uneven surfaces
  • Riders carrying varying loads who want the option to re-balance the bike’s attitude
  • Anyone chasing a more controlled, confidence-inspiring feel from the rear suspension

Shock design & features

  • Monotube STX 46 Street design
  • Oil and gas separated for stable damping behaviour during sustained use
  • Rear mono fitment for the Suzuki M 1500

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to control how quickly the shock returns after compression
  • Threaded spring preload adjustment to set sag and suit rider/load changes

Before you install

  • Set sag with the preload adjuster, then fine-tune rebound to match road conditions and riding style
  • Confirm clearances and ensure fasteners are torqued to the motorcycle manufacturer’s specifications
  • If you’re changing load or luggage often, note your settings so you can return to a known baseline
