The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock for the Yamaha YZF R1 is built around a track-focused damping architecture aimed at delivering consistent control and clear feedback. It is a gas-pressurised design with separated oil and gas to help maintain stable damping behaviour as conditions and temperatures change. Adjustment is provided for rebound and compression damping, along with ride height adjustment for chassis balance.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience, the STX Supersport range is intended for riders who want a more tunable, confidence-inspiring rear end. The focus is on predictable support under braking, stable drive on exit, and repeatable feel over longer sessions.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders setting up a Yamaha YZF R1 for track days, coaching, or competitive supersport-style use
  • Owners who want more adjustability than a stock shock to suit tyres, pace, and surface grip
  • Those chasing clearer rear-tyre feedback for corner entry, mid-corner support, and exit drive

Shock design & features

  • Gas-pressurised, separated oil/gas architecture to support consistent damping performance
  • STX 46 Supersport family design with a focus on controlled chassis movement and traction
  • Rear mono-shock fitment for the Yamaha YZF R1 application

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to manage recovery and stability over transitions
  • Compression damping adjustment to tune support under load and bump absorption
  • Ride height adjustment to help dial in geometry and rear balance

Before you install

  • Set sag and baseline damping after installation to suit your weight, tyres, and intended use
  • Check clearances and routing around the shock and linkage during full suspension travel
  • If you change springs or operating conditions, re-check sag and revisit damping balance

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a serviceable Ohlins unit, this shock is designed to be maintained with regular oil and seal servicing as operating hours accumulate. Keeping up with service intervals helps preserve damping consistency and component life.
