The Ohlins YA418 STX 46 Street rear shock is built for Yamaha XT 660 X riders who want more controlled suspension behaviour on the road. It focuses on maintaining stable chassis attitude and predictable grip through braking, turning and acceleration. The damping package is designed to stay consistent across long rides.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins applies race-developed damping principles to street-focused units, prioritising control, feel and repeatability. This shock is designed as a complete rear replacement to improve how the bike responds to real-world load changes and road conditions.

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated STX 46 design, using gas pressure to help reduce cavitation and maintain damping consistency. The architecture is intended to deliver stable damping behaviour under sustained use, with a focus on traction and composure.

Tuning controls

Rebound damping adjustment is provided to let you balance comfort, grip and chassis control for your tyre choice, riding pace and load. Set rebound to suit the bike’s return speed after bumps and during corner exit, then fine-tune based on feedback.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders using the XT 660 X primarily on the street who want clearer feedback and more confidence from the rear end. It’s also a solid match if you regularly ride with varying loads and want a rear suspension package that’s easier to dial in.

Before you install

Confirm compatibility with your exact model and year, and check linkage and mounting hardware condition before fitting. After installation, set sag and then adjust rebound to suit your typical road use and load. A fresh baseline setup makes tuning changes more meaningful.
