STX 46 Supersport Rear Shock Absorber

The Öhlins YA 589 is an STX 46 Supersport rear shock absorber engineered to improve the handling and stability of the Yamaha YZF-R7 (2021-2025). This high-performance monotube unit is built with a 46 mm piston to provide consistent damping, better traction, and enhanced rider feedback across various riding conditions. The system features external adjustability, allowing riders to fine-tune their suspension setup through compression and rebound settings, as well as a remote hydraulic spring preload adjuster. With a total length of 311.5 mm and a 52.5 mm stroke, it is designed for precise integration into the R7 chassis. Installation requires attention to component orientation, specifically mounting the unit with the hose positioned on the left-hand side facing toward the rear. As these units are often built to order based on individual rider specifications, professional installation or setup is recommended to ensure the damping characteristics are optimized for the intended use.
