Ohlins YA013 STX Adventure Rear Shock Absorber - 46 S46HR1C1S

The Öhlins YA013 STX 46 Adventure is a high-performance monotube rear shock absorber engineered as a direct replacement for the Yamaha XT 1200 Z Ténéré (Kayaba models). Built around Öhlins' proven STX 46 platform, this shock delivers the damping consistency, adjustability, and durability that adventure riders demand across mixed terrain, loaded touring, and long-distance riding.

At its core, the STX 46 features a 46mm piston in a monotube high-pressure gas design with a hose-mounted external reservoir — designated type code S46HR1C1S. The external reservoir increases oil capacity to keep the shock running cooler under sustained hard use, while also providing a dedicated location for the compression adjuster.

Key Features:

• 46mm monotube design — large-bore piston for consistent, fade-resistant damping performance
• Hose-mounted external reservoir — improved heat dissipation and oil volume for extended hard use
• Adjustable rebound damping (R1) — adjuster wheel positioned above the lower end eye for easy access (~45 clicks of adjustment)
• Adjustable compression damping (C1) — adjuster wheel or slot located on the reservoir (~24 clicks of adjustment)
• Spring preload adjuster — tool-free preload adjustment to accommodate varying rider weights and load configurations
• Hard anodized, precision CNC-machined components — built for long-term durability in demanding conditions
• Direct OEM replacement fitment — bolt-on installation for Yamaha XT 1200 Z Ténéré (Kayaba suspension variant)

The Öhlins YA013 is the ideal suspension upgrade for XT 1200 Z Ténéré riders who demand better chassis balance and more precise control whether riding solo, two-up, or fully loaded with luggage on unpaved roads and adventure routes. Type code: S46HR1C1S. Also referenced as YA 013.
