The Ohlins YA581 STX 46 Street rear shock is built to improve chassis control and consistency on the Yamaha Tracer 9. It uses a gas-pressurised damping system to maintain stable performance as conditions and pace change. Separate damping circuits let you tune feel and support to better match your load, tyres and road surface.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins race-derived damping know-how, this STX 46 Street unit focuses on clear feedback and predictable grip. The aim is controlled motion through braking, turn-in and acceleration without compromising day-to-day ride quality.

Who this shock is for

  • Tracer 9 riders wanting more stability under braking and better composure through corners
  • Owners chasing improved traction and confidence on varied road surfaces
  • Riders who prefer a shock that can be tuned rather than a fixed, one-size setup

Shock design & features

  • Gas-pressurised damping design for consistent performance and reduced fade
  • Ohlins STX 46 Street architecture intended to deliver strong support with usable compliance
  • Valving developed to improve tyre contact and chassis control

Tuning controls

This rear shock provides adjustable rebound damping and adjustable compression damping, allowing you to balance support, comfort and grip for your riding conditions.

Base setup (factory preset)

Supplied with an Ohlins baseline setting intended as a sensible starting point. From there, fine-tune rebound and compression to suit rider weight, luggage/passenger use and preferred ride feel.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Yamaha Tracer 9 and that the supplied spring rate suits your typical load
  • Set sag and revisit damping settings after the first rides as the suspension beds in
  • If you frequently ride two-up or with luggage, plan your setup around that real-world load
