The Ohlins YA620 is a rear mono shock for the Yamaha YZF R6, built around the STX 46 Supersport architecture. It’s designed for riders who want predictable rear grip and clear feedback when pushing pace. The internal layout uses a gas-separated design to help keep damping consistent as conditions and temperatures change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins’ circuit experience, this unit is intended to deliver controlled support under load while maintaining compliance over surface changes. The focus is on usable adjustment range and repeatable behaviour, rather than overly firm damping.

Who this shock is for

Suited to Yamaha YZF R6 riders doing track days, racing, or fast road riding where chassis balance and traction on corner exit matter. It’s a good match if you want a quality baseline with the ability to fine-tune for tyres, rider weight, and track grip.

Before you install

Confirm the shock is intended for your exact R6 model/year and linkage configuration before fitting. After installation, set sag and then tune rebound and compression one change at a time to keep the handling direction clear.

Serviceability/lifecycle
