Öhlins has built racing suspension in Sweden since 1976 and holds championships across MotoGP, World Superbike and off-road. Its Harley-Davidson touring and Softail shocks bring genuine road-race damping technology to bikes that left the factory heavily compromised on suspension travel and control.
Enhance your Harley Softail Slim with the Ohlins STX 46 Street, a high-performance monotube shock absorber. Featuring a 46mm main piston and internal gas reservoir, this shock is engineered for superior Softail Slim suspension upgrades.
Experience a dramatic improvement in your Softail Slim's handling and comfort with the Ohlins STX 46 Street monotube rear shock. Designed with a large 46mm piston and a high-pressure nitrogen gas reservoir, it delivers consistent and controlled damping performance. The adjustable rebound damping and hose-mounted hydraulic preload allow you to precisely dial in your suspension, ensuring optimal response for your riding style and varying loads.
The Ohlins STX 46 Street shock transforms your Softail Slim into a more capable and comfortable machine. Whether you're navigating city streets or cruising open highways, the ability to adjust damping and preload means your bike will feel more planted, predictable, and responsive. This shock is a key upgrade for any Softail Slim owner seeking to unlock their bike's full performance potential and enjoy a truly custom-tuned ride.
Can I adjust the damping and preload myself on this Ohlins STX 46 shock?
Yes, rebound damping is adjustable via a simple dial. The hose-mounted hydraulic preload can also be adjusted using the provided tool, allowing you to tune for weight changes and maintain proper suspension geometry.
Does this Ohlins STX 46 shock come as a single unit or a pair?
This is a single shock absorber. Please verify your specific Softail Slim configuration before ordering to ensure you purchase the correct number of units required for your bike.
What makes the 46mm piston design better than smaller shocks?
A larger 46mm piston provides a greater surface area for damping fluid to act upon, allowing for more precise and consistent damping control, especially during demanding riding conditions, compared to smaller piston designs.
