The Ohlins SU916 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built for the Suzuki DL 650 V-Strom and DL 650 V-Strom XT, with a focus on control and stability across mixed surfaces. It is designed to cope with long days, changing loads and rougher road conditions while maintaining consistent damping behaviour. This unit uses a monotube layout with separated oil and gas to support more stable performance when the pace and terrain vary.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins adventure shocks are developed around predictable damping, strong build quality and practical adjustability. The goal is to give you a clearer connection to available grip and a suspension feel that remains composed as conditions change.
