The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock absorber is designed as a complete replacement for the original rear suspension unit on the Yamaha YZF-R7. It is intended for riders seeking improved consistency, control and adjustability for road riding and track use, where predictable damping behaviour and thermal stability are important.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride.

The STX 46 Supersport is supplied with a factory-defined damping configuration developed specifically for the YZF-R7 chassis. This baseline setup is intended to balance control and usability across a wide range of riding conditions, while providing sufficient adjustment range for fine-tuning to rider preference and use.

Design Architecture & Adjustment

This shock uses a gas-pressurised monotube design with an external reservoir to help maintain stable internal pressure and oil control during sustained operation. The architecture is aimed at reducing damping variation under repeated load, such as spirited road riding or track sessions. External adjustment comes from a compression and rebound adjuster for damping, and a hydraulic remote preload adjuster.

Key Features

  • STX single-tube monotube shock design
  • Gas-pressurised damping system with external reservoir
  • Externally adjustable compression and rebound damping
  • Application-specific design for the Yamaha YZF-R7
  • Fully serviceable and rebuildable construction

Suitability & Setup Considerations

Final ride behaviour depends on correct spring selection, preload and damping adjustment relative to rider weight, riding style and intended use. While the STX 46 Supersport offers a wide adjustment range, appropriate setup and ongoing servicing are critical to achieving the desired outcome. The internal setting can be altered to accommodate individual needs and terrain when the original design parameters of the damper are exceed.
