The Ohlins STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built to give the Yamaha Ténéré 700 and Ténéré 700 Rally Edition consistent control across mixed surfaces and long days. It is a monotube, gas-pressurised design with separated oil and gas to help maintain damping stability as conditions change. Adjustments are provided for compression, rebound and spring preload so you can tune the bike for terrain, load and riding pace.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins off-road and adventure suspension experience, this unit focuses on predictable behaviour and repeatable tuning. The STX 46 architecture is aimed at maintaining support and comfort without making the bike feel nervous on loose surfaces.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders using the Ténéré 700 for adventure touring with regular dirt and gravel.
  • Those wanting more control and consistency over corrugations and rough tracks.
  • Owners who need adjustability to suit changing loads such as luggage or a pillion.

Shock design & features

This is a rear mono shock using a monotube layout with separated oil and gas, intended to reduce cavitation and keep damping stable on long, rough rides. The STX 46 Adventure family is designed to suit demanding dual-sport use where heat management and durability matter.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Yamaha Ténéré 700 and Ténéré 700 Rally Edition.
  • Set sag and baseline adjusters after installation to match rider weight and typical load.
  • If you frequently carry luggage or a pillion, plan your setup around those conditions for best balance.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As with any performance shock, periodic servicing helps maintain damping consistency and seal life. Service intervals vary with conditions; frequent dust, water crossings and sustained rough terrain typically increase service needs.
