The Ohlins YA801 STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built for Yamaha YZF R1 riders who want clearer feedback and more consistent rear grip from the chassis. It uses a gas-pressurised damping layout to help maintain damping stability during demanding road and track use. Compression and rebound circuits are independently tuned so you can dial in support and traction without compromising overall balance.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins racing experience, the STX 46 Supersport platform focuses on controlled damping behaviour and predictable feel. The result is a rear end that communicates load changes cleanly, helping you ride closer to the tyre’s available grip with confidence.

Who this shock is for

  • YZF R1 owners chasing improved stability and rear tyre control during aggressive street riding or track days
  • Riders who want greater adjustability than a basic shock can offer, with independent damping control
  • Anyone looking to refine braking support, corner entry composure, and drive off corners

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised rear shock design intended to maintain consistent damping performance under sustained heat and load. The STX architecture is aimed at keeping the rear wheel following the road while supporting the chassis under acceleration and braking.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment

Before you install

  • Confirm compatibility with your exact Yamaha YZF R1 model and year before fitting
  • Set sag and baseline damping after installation to suit your weight, tyres, and riding conditions
  • If you’re changing ride balance, verify clearances and handling geometry after adjustments

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance shocks, routine servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components over time. Servicing intervals depend on usage intensity, heat exposure, and environmental conditions.
