The Ohlins YA606 STX 46 Supersport rear shock is a dedicated performance unit for the Yamaha YZF R6, designed to deliver consistent damping control and clearer chassis feedback. Built around Ohlins race-derived architecture, it supports stable attitude under braking and better drive when you pick up the throttle. The pressurised design helps maintain damping consistency as conditions and workload change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins circuit programs, this Supersport-spec rear shock is intended for riders who want more control from the rear contact patch and a broader tuning window than a standard unit. It is suited to track riding and fast road use where repeatable suspension response matters.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Supersport rear mono shock configuration for the Yamaha YZF R6
  • Pressurised, oil/gas separated design to support consistent damping performance
  • Race-developed valving focus for improved stability and traction feel

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Base setup (factory preset)

The shock is supplied with an Ohlins base setting intended as a workable starting point, allowing you to fine-tune compression and rebound for tyre choice, pace, and track surface. If your bike has been modified (geometry, linkage, tyres), plan to review setup after installation.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact Yamaha YZF R6 model/year and any aftermarket linkages or ride-height changes.
  • Inspect bearings, linkages, and fasteners during installation; worn hardware can mask the benefit of a new shock.
  • Set sag and balance front-to-rear once installed before making damping changes.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is fully serviceable and intended to be maintained as a rebuildable performance component. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components, particularly with frequent track use.
