The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock is built for riders who want a controlled, settled chassis on real roads. It uses a monotube layout with a separated oil and gas design to maintain consistent damping under repeated bumps and heat. Developed from Ohlins road and race experience, it focuses on predictable grip and clear feedback rather than a harsh ride.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX technology is Ohlins’ street-focused approach to delivering stable, confidence-inspiring damping with straightforward adjustment. The design aims to keep the rear tyre working through changes in speed, surface and load, helping the bike stay composed mid-corner and on corner exit.

Who this shock is for

Suited to Yamaha FZ 1 riders who want improved traction, stability and damping control compared with a tired or basic standard unit. It’s a good match for commuting, weekend runs and brisk road riding where the suspension needs to cope with varying surfaces and braking loads.

Shock design & features

This is a rear mono shock using a gas-pressurised monotube architecture with oil and gas separated. The intent is to reduce cavitation and help damping consistency during longer or more demanding rides.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to balance support and comfort to suit your riding style and conditions. Spring preload is also adjustable to set ride height and sag for rider weight and typical load.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact Yamaha FZ 1 model and year.
  • Set sag and baseline adjusters after installation to match rider weight and typical luggage/passenger use.
  • If you’re not sure where to start, note your current handling symptoms (wallow, harshness, loss of grip) to guide initial tuning.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, this shock is designed to be maintained and tuned over its life rather than treated as disposable. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal wear components.
