The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Yamaha XVS 1100 Drag Star is built to deliver controlled damping and consistent chassis behaviour for road riding. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain damping stability as conditions change. This unit is designed to provide clear feedback and improved stability without relying on overly firm springing.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins suspension experience in competition and refined for street use, the STX 46 Street platform focuses on predictable control and traction. The aim is stable ride quality with damping support you can tune for your bike and load.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want a more controlled rear end than typical OE suspension, especially when ride quality and stability matter. It’s a practical choice if you’re chasing improved composure through corners and better support under braking.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised shock with oil and gas separated for more consistent damping. The internal layout is intended to improve response to road inputs and keep the rear tyre working with better traction and feedback.

Tuning controls

The shock provides external adjustment for rebound damping, allowing you to tailor how quickly the rear recovers after bumps and braking events. This helps you balance comfort, grip, and stability for your preferred road conditions.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact Yamaha XVS 1100 Drag Star model and year.
  • Set sag and baseline damping after installation before making further changes.
  • If you carry a passenger or luggage, re-check setup to keep handling consistent.
