The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock is a direct replacement unit developed for riders who want clearer tyre feedback and more controlled chassis behaviour from their Yamaha. Built around Ohlins’ race-derived damping architecture, it focuses on consistent damping feel and predictable support through braking, turn-in and drive. This unit suits both spirited road use and dedicated track days where repeatability matters.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX 46 Supersport shocks are designed to deliver stable damping performance and improved rear-wheel control under changing loads. The construction is aimed at giving a composed ride while keeping the rear tyre working effectively across a wide range of conditions.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders chasing more confidence and consistency than a tired or basic OE shock can provide
  • Track-day and fast-road riders who want a broader tuning window for grip and stability
  • Owners looking for a proven Ohlins platform that can be serviced and re-valved over time

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated monotube design intended to resist fade during longer, harder sessions. The internal layout is built to maintain damping control as temperature and workload increase, helping the bike stay settled and predictable.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to tailor the shock’s response to your tyres, pace and surface conditions. Spring preload adjustment is included to set ride height and sag correctly for your weight and use.

Before you install

  • Set sag first, then fine-tune rebound and compression in small steps with notes between changes
  • Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware condition during fitment
  • Plan periodic servicing to keep damping performance consistent and protect internal components
