The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius is built to improve damping control and chassis stability for road use. It is a monotube design intended to deliver consistent performance through a wide range of conditions. Designed around Ohlins’ track-derived damping philosophy, it focuses on predictable feel and traction.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX 46 Street products carry Ohlins’ core damping design approach into a street-focused package. The aim is better tyre contact and a more composed ride without making the bike feel harsh.

Who this shock is for

Suited to Gladius riders who want clearer feedback, improved stability and more controlled suspension behaviour in everyday riding. It is also appropriate for riders who want adjustability to suit load changes, tyre choices, and road conditions.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised monotube rear shock (oil and gas separated) designed to resist fade during extended use. The internal layout supports stable damping characteristics and consistent response as temperatures and riding conditions change.

Tuning controls

The shock provides rebound damping adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune how quickly the rear suspension returns after compression. This helps balance ride comfort, grip and chassis control when accelerating out of corners or riding over uneven surfaces.

Before you install

  • Confirm application and fitment for the Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius before installation.
  • Set sag and baseline adjustments after fitment to suit rider weight and typical load.
  • Check clearance and routing around the shock body during installation.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a rebuildable Ohlins unit, it can be serviced to maintain performance over time. Regular inspection and periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and extends component life.
