Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street shocks apply the same core damping principles used across the brand’s performance range, adapted for real-world road conditions. The STX 46 Street family is designed to offer predictable feel and repeatable adjustment without adding unnecessary complexity.

Shock design & features

  • STX single-tube design using a gas-pressurised damping system
  • Oil and gas are separated to help maintain damping consistency during use
  • Rear mono-shock configuration for the listed Yamaha applications

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Base setup (factory preset)

This shock is delivered with an Ohlins baseline setting intended to suit the standard motorcycle and typical street riding. Fine tuning is then done via the external adjusters to match rider weight, load, and preferred ride feel.

Before you install

  • Confirm the motorcycle model and fitment: Yamaha XV 1600 Wild Star / XV 1700 Wild Star
  • Check mounting hardware condition during replacement and re-torque to the motorcycle manufacturer’s requirements
  • After installation, set sag and then refine rebound damping to suit your roads and load

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are built to be maintained. Periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent over time, particularly if the bike is used regularly or carries varying loads.
