The Ohlins STX 46 Supersport rear shock is a purpose-built upgrade for Ducati fitments where consistent damping control and track-focused feel are priorities. Built around Ohlins’ proven monotube architecture, it’s designed to deliver stable behaviour under load and clear feedback at the tyre. This unit is supplied for rear mono-shock applications.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX 46 Supersport shocks are developed from Ohlins’ racing programs and refined for performance road and track use. The focus is on predictable damping characteristics, durability, and adjustability that lets you match the bike to your tyres, surfaces, and riding style.

Who this shock is for

This rear shock suits riders chasing a more controlled chassis with improved support during braking, corner entry, and drive off turns. It’s also appropriate when you want a serviceable performance shock rather than a sealed, replace-only unit.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-separated monotube design rather than an emulsion shock, helping maintain damping consistency during hard use. It uses a single main piston arrangement with a separate gas volume to reduce cavitation and keep response stable as temperatures rise.

Tuning controls

This shock includes rebound damping adjustment and compression damping adjustment, allowing you to balance traction, support and ride quality. Preload adjustment is provided to set sag correctly for your weight and intended use.

Before you install

Set sag first, then fine-tune damping with small changes and one adjustment at a time. If you are changing ride height, check chain run, tyre clearance and overall chassis balance. After installation, re-check fastener torque and confirm free movement through suspension travel.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins performance shocks are designed to be maintained with routine servicing to keep damping behaviour consistent over time. Fresh oil and seals at appropriate intervals helps preserve control, especially if the bike sees track use or sustained high temperatures.
