The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Yamaha XVS 1300A Midnight Star is built to improve chassis control and ride quality with a more stable, predictable damping feel. It uses a separated oil and gas design to help maintain consistent damping during real-world street use. The result is cleaner feedback and better composure through changing road surfaces.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins suspension know-how and packaged for street applications, this unit is aimed at riders who want more control without losing everyday usability. It’s a direct-fit rear replacement intended to lift overall stability and confidence.

Shock design & features

This is a monotube STX 46 Street rear shock with oil and gas separated for consistent damping behaviour. The architecture is designed to manage heat and pressure changes more effectively than basic designs, supporting stable performance across a wide range of riding conditions.

Tuning controls

The shock includes rebound damping adjustment, allowing you to tailor how quickly the rear recovers after bumps and weight transfer events. This helps you balance comfort, grip and control depending on load and riding style.

Before you install

Confirm the application is for the Yamaha XVS 1300A Midnight Star in a rear mono position. If your bike is used with a passenger, luggage, or frequent load changes, plan to set sag correctly and re-check rebound after any significant setup change.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, the shock is intended to be maintained over its service life. Periodic inspection and servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components from wear and contamination.
