The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Yamaha XVS 650A Drag Star Classic is built to deliver controlled damping and predictable chassis behaviour on the road. It uses a monotube design with a piston separating oil and gas to help maintain consistency during extended riding. Designed as a direct-fit rear unit, it’s intended to improve stability and ride quality without making the bike feel harsh.
