The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock for the Yamaha XT 660 Z Ténéré is built to provide consistent damping control in mixed-surface adventure use. It is designed to support stable chassis behaviour when conditions change from sealed roads to rougher tracks. The focus is on predictable response and rider confidence over long days.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a strong engineering focus on damping consistency and repeatable adjustability. The STX platform is intended to deliver controlled movement through the stroke, helping the bike stay composed and easier to manage when terrain and load vary.

Who this shock is for

  • XT 660 Z Ténéré riders looking for improved control and feel in adventure and touring conditions
  • Riders who carry luggage or ride with changing loads and want suspension that can be tuned accordingly
  • Anyone wanting a serviceable, upgrade rear shock rather than relying on an ageing OEM unit

Shock design & features

This is a mono rear shock using an oil/gas separated design for more stable damping behaviour under sustained use. The STX 46 Adventure configuration is intended to handle the demands of varied surfaces while maintaining consistent response.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and spring preload, allowing you to tailor the bike’s recovery control and ride height support for different conditions and loads. These external adjustments are aimed at practical setup changes without dismantling the shock.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins shock is designed to be maintained and rebuilt as part of normal suspension service intervals. Routine servicing helps keep damping performance consistent and extends component life, particularly when the bike sees dust, water crossings, or long-distance corrugations.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Yamaha XT 660 Z Ténéré applications before installation
  • Inspect linkage, bearings, and mounting hardware condition while the shock is removed
  • Set sag and adjust rebound after installation to suit your load and riding conditions
