The Ohlins STX 46 Street shock absorber utilizes a monotube design featuring a 46mm main piston and an internal gas reservoir housed within the main body. The unit is high-pressure nitrogen gas charged and constructed with hard anodized, precision CNC-machined components. A low-friction shaft/seal head design supports the internal mechanics, while the system incorporates adjustable rebound damping to modify the shock's behavior.
This suspension component is engineered for Adventure, Street, or Naked Sport Bikes, offering a major upgrade in performance, quality, and durability. The shock includes a hose-mounted hydraulic preload adjustment mechanism, allowing for changes in ride height and geometry. A provided preload tool facilitates these adjustments to accommodate weight changes, ensuring the suspension maintains proper setup.
