Shock design & features

This is a monotube shock with a separated oil/gas design using a piston reservoir arrangement to manage pressure and reduce fade. The STX 46 Adventure construction is aimed at maintaining damping stability over long rides and repeated impacts. It is supplied with the fitted spring listed for this unit.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, along with spring preload for ride height and load compensation. These external controls allow you to tailor the shock to your typical terrain, pace, and carried weight. Use small changes and record your settings so you can return to a known baseline.

Before you install

• Confirm fitment for your exact Triumph Tiger model and year before installation
• Inspect linkage, bearings, and mounting hardware and replace worn parts
• After installation, verify sag and preload for your normal riding load

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced. Periodic maintenance helps preserve damping performance and component life, particularly with frequent off-road use or extended touring. Service intervals should be based on usage conditions and time in service.
