The Ohlins STX 36 twin rear shocks for the Honda CB 750 (RC42) are built to improve chassis control and consistency in real-world road use. This is a gas-pressurised design to help maintain damping stability as conditions and temperatures change. Supplied as a rear twin-shock set, it targets predictable grip, feedback and balanced handling.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins suspension engineering for performance road applications, the STX 36 platform focuses on controlled damping behaviour and repeatability. The aim is clear communication from the rear tyre without harshness or vague response.

Who this shock is for

Suited to CB 750 (RC42) riders who want a more controlled rear end than ageing or tired original equipment can deliver. It fits riders who value stable cornering attitude, cleaner drive out of turns and better composure through braking and bumps.

Shock design & features

  • Gas-pressurised damping architecture for consistent performance
  • STX 36 twin-shock layout for the RC42 rear suspension configuration
  • Designed to deliver stable damping behaviour and improved rear-wheel contact

Tuning controls

This model provides rebound damping adjustment as well as compression damping adjustment, allowing you to tailor response for road conditions, load and riding style. Spring preload adjustment is used to set ride height and sag for correct balance.

Before you install

  • Set sag and preload for your weight and typical load before evaluating damping changes
  • Check chassis and linkage condition (bushes, mounts and fasteners) so the shocks can work as intended
  • After installation, make changes one at a time and test on familiar roads

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are serviceable, with wear components and oil designed to be refreshed as part of normal maintenance. Periodic servicing helps retain damping control and long-term consistency.
