The Ohlins Difference.
All Ohlins shock absorbers are developed from knowledge gained from top-level factory race teams around the world. Superior construction, superior materials and superior engineering skills give you the best quality shock on the market. The shock body is precision-drawn steel with an aluminum shock reservoir. These race shocks feature lightweight, high strength aluminum shock bodies with stainless steel, braided PTFE hoses used with all remote reservoir shocks. Springs are chrome silicone. All aspects of basic shock setup and performance are thoroughly tested to ensure the shock performs flawlessly. Ohlins shocks are 100% rebuildable so you get lasting quality - you can readjust, re-shim, and overhaul/rebuild the shock for years of peak performance.
Exclusive design and top performance come together in the Ohlins STX46 Blackline Custom & Heritage shock absorber. With its timeless all-black look and outstanding technical features, the STX46 Blackline Custom & Heritage is the perfect upgrade for your ride. Experience the ultimate in performance and take on the streets with style, class, and confidence.
This STX46 Blackline shock fits the BMW R nineT (2014-2016).
Featuring a large 46-mm main piston, the shock is equipped with an external piggyback reservoir. The advantage of having an external piggyback reservoir is that it holds a larger volume of oil, keeping the shock cooler under extreme conditions. This configuration also provides additional adjustability.
With adjustable compression and rebound damping, you can fine-tune the shock for your riding preferences. Spring preload adjustments are made through the integrated preload adjuster to compensate for changes in weight. The shock is also equipped with a length adjuster, which allows for ride height changes without compromising suspension travel.
