The Ohlins YA834 STX 46 Supersport rear shock is built for Yamaha YZF R6 riders who want consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback in demanding riding. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain stable performance as conditions and temperatures change. Developed around Ohlins’ track-focused architecture, it supports confident braking, corner entry stability and drive out of turns.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Part of the STX 46 Supersport family, this rear mono shock is designed around Ohlins’ racing-derived damping circuits, with a focus on traction and predictability. The core intent is to give the rider a wider usable setup window and clearer response to changes in adjustment.

Who this shock is for

• R6 riders doing track days or competition who need repeatable damping and tyre contact feel.
• Riders chasing improved stability under hard braking and through fast direction changes.
• Those who want the option to tune the rear for different tracks, tyres and riding styles.

Shock design & features

• Gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated damping system to help reduce fade during extended sessions.
• Ohlins STX 46 Supersport architecture with race-proven internal valving approach.
• Rear mono configuration suited to the Yamaha YZF R6 fitment.

Tuning controls

• Rebound damping adjustment for controlling return speed and rear stability over bumps and on corner exit.
• Compression damping adjustment for managing support under load changes such as braking, turn-in and acceleration.
• Length adjustment to fine-tune ride height and chassis balance.

Before you install

• Set sag and confirm spring suitability for your weight, tyres and typical track conditions.
• Note your starting settings so changes can be tested methodically.
• After installation, re-check fastener torque and clearance through full suspension travel.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is designed to be serviced and revalved. Regular oil and seal service helps maintain consistent damping, especially when used frequently on track where heat and load are higher.
