DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Öhlins STX 46 Supersport shock absorber YA 467 is precision-engineered specifically for the Yamaha YZF-R3, delivering a level of build quality and material refinement that sits decisively above any factory replacement. A large-diameter 46 mm piston, gas-pressure damping and a fixed external reservoir combine to give the YZF-R3 the composed, confidence-inspiring chassis behaviour it deserves — whether you are threading through an alpine pass or pushing the pace on a track day.
Key Features
- 46 mm piston diameter for exceptional damping efficiency, fade resistance and long-term durability.
- Gas-pressure monotube design with a fixed external reservoir ensures consistent oil temperature and eliminates aeration under hard use.
- Independently adjustable rebound and compression damping lets you dial in the exact balance of comfort and control for your riding style and road surface.
- Adjustable length gives precise ride-height and geometry tuning without the need for additional spacers.
- Spring rate of 170 N/mm and 46 mm stroke, matched to the YZF-R3's weight and geometry from the outset.
- Includes a full installation manual; Öhlins recommends fitting by an authorised Öhlins Service Centre for optimal results.
Swedish Engineering, Built to Last
Öhlins has spent decades supplying suspension to MotoGP, World Superbike and rally teams, and every lesson learned at that level flows directly into the STX 46 Supersport range. The shock body and reservoir are machined to the exacting tolerances Öhlins is known for, the seals are chosen for longevity under sustained cycling, and the anodised aluminium finish resists corrosion through all seasons. This is not a budget upgrade dressed up with marketing language — it is a component built from the ground up to outlast, outperform and out-feel anything the Yamaha showroom fitted as standard.
On the Road and on Track
The STX 46's twin-damping adjustment opens up a genuinely wide setup window. Commuters and touring riders can soften the compression damping to absorb rough tarmac without drama, while track-day regulars can firm everything up for sharper corner-entry control and more predictable mid-corner balance. The fixed external reservoir keeps damping fluid cooler during sustained hard use — a real advantage on a motorcycle that increasingly finds itself on circuit days — and the adjustable length means geometry changes for lower, sportier ergonomics are straightforward and reversible.
