Rear Shock Absorber

The Ohlins S46DR1S rear shock absorber is engineered for performance Harley Softail motorcycles, model years 2018 and newer. Renowned for their performance suspension, Ohlins provides an upgrade that surpasses stock components for riders seeking to maximize their bike's capabilities. This shock absorber boasts a substantial 46mm main piston and an internal gas reservoir, seamlessly integrated within the shock's main body for a clean profile. Key features include adjustable rebound damping, allowing riders to fine-tune suspension behavior to their preference and riding conditions. The hydraulic preload adjuster, operated via a convenient hose-mounted knob, enables tool-free, incremental adjustments. This system is entirely separate from the mechanical spring preload, making it ideal for quickly accommodating a passenger or adapting to changing loads. The STX Single Tube design ensures consistent performance and durability, complemented by precision CNC-machined, hard-anodized components. A low-friction shaft and seal head design further contribute to smooth operation and longevity. The shock is also fully serviceable and repairable, ensuring a long service life. Ohlins offers different spring weights tailored to rider weight: Light Duty for riders under 180lbs, Standard for 180lbs-225lbs, and Heavy Duty for riders over 250lbs. Fitment notes indicate that Low Rider ST and Heritage models utilize 13 1/2" shocks for stock ride height, while all other Softail models use 12 1/2" shocks.
