The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for Yamaha Niken/GT (MXT 850) is built to deliver consistent damping control and clear feedback on the road. The design focuses on traction, stability and predictable chassis behaviour across a wide range of riding conditions. It uses a gas-pressurised damping system to help maintain performance as temperatures and loads change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience and adapted for real-world street use, this unit is aimed at riders who want a more controlled and confidence-inspiring rear end. The STX 46 Street platform is designed to provide consistent support without harshness, with damping behaviour that remains stable during longer rides.

Shock design & features

  • Gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated damping system for consistent operation
  • Rear mono-shock configuration for the Yamaha Niken/GT chassis layout
  • Valving intended to improve tyre contact and stability through cornering and braking loads

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to manage extension speed and traction feel
  • Compression damping adjustment to tune support under acceleration and braking
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height balance and sag for rider/load

Base setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with an Ohlins-fitted spring and a baseline tune set by Ohlins for the intended application. Final setup should be checked on the bike, as preload and damping requirements vary with rider weight, luggage and typical roads.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Yamaha Niken/GT (MXT 850) before installation
  • Inspect linkage/bearings and mounting hardware condition during replacement
  • After installation, set sag via preload first, then fine-tune compression and rebound

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced and reconditioned as part of normal ownership. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistency and seal performance over time, particularly if the bike sees frequent spirited use.
