The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the Yamaha XT 1200 Z Ténéré is built to improve control and composure when the bike is loaded and the terrain is inconsistent. It’s designed for sustained use on rough tracks, where damping consistency and predictable response matter. This unit suits riders looking for a more tuneable rear end without changing the character of the bike.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins adventure shocks are developed around stable damping behaviour and practical adjustability for real-world riding. The STX architecture is aimed at delivering a controlled ride across mixed surfaces and changing loads. It’s a focused replacement rear shock for riders who want clearer feedback and improved chassis balance.

Who this shock is for

Suited to XT 1200 Z Ténéré riders who tour, commute, and ride unsealed roads, especially with luggage or a pillion. It’s a good match if you’re chasing improved support over corrugations and better control when the pace increases. Also relevant if you want easier, repeatable tuning versus a fixed-feel standard shock.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 rear mono shock with separated oil and gas, designed to maintain damping stability under demanding conditions. The layout supports consistent performance over long rides and variable surfaces. It is supplied with a fitted spring.

Tuning controls

External adjusters are provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to tune behaviour for terrain, load, and tyre choice. Spring preload adjustment is included to help set ride height and support for different carrying weights.

Before you install

Not for the XT1200ZE model. Confirm model compatibility before fitting, especially where OEM equipment differs between sub-models. As with any suspension change, allow time to set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit your typical load and riding conditions.
