The Ohlins SU935 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built for the Suzuki DR 750 Big and DR 800 Big, targeting stable damping control across mixed-surface riding. It’s designed to stay consistent on long days where load, heat and varied terrain can expose weaknesses in the stock setup. The focus is predictable chassis behaviour and reduced rider fatigue rather than a harsh, over-damped feel.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins adventure and touring shocks are developed to maintain control across changing conditions, from sealed roads to rough tracks. The SU935 follows that approach with a robust body design and a tune intended for real-world use where comfort and stability both matter.

Who this shock is for

  • DR 750/800 owners who ride long distances and want more composed rear-end control.
  • Riders carrying luggage or a pillion who need improved stability under load.
  • Adventure touring use where corrugations, rocky surfaces and changing grip are common.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46-series rear mono shock with oil and gas separated to improve damping consistency over extended use. The architecture is intended to manage heat and maintain repeatable behaviour when conditions are demanding.

Tuning controls

The SU935 is fitted with external damping adjustment for compression and rebound, allowing practical tuning for terrain, load and tyre choice without dismantling the unit. It also includes spring preload adjustment to help set ride height and support for luggage or two-up riding.

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for your exact DR 750 Big or DR 800 Big model and year.
  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound and compression in small steps.
  • Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware condition before installation to avoid masking worn components.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, the SU935 is designed to be serviceable to maintain performance over time. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent, especially for bikes used on dusty tracks, corrugations, or with frequent heavy loads.
