The Ohlins HO140 STX 36 twin rear shock set is built for classic Honda road motorcycles that benefit from modern damping control without changing the character of the bike. It uses a pressurised gas design to keep damping consistent as conditions and temperatures vary. Supplied as a twin-shock arrangement for rear fitment on compatible Honda CB and CBX models.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins suspension engineering, this STX 36 twin setup focuses on controlled damping response and predictable rear-wheel behaviour. It is intended for riders who want a more composed chassis feel and clearer feedback through the rear suspension.

Who this shock is for

Suited to owners of Honda CB 750 F, CB 750 KZ, CB 900, CB1100F, CB1100R and CBX 1000 models running a twin rear shock configuration. A good match for road riding where stability and control matter, including spirited riding on varied surfaces.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised twin rear shock design. The pressurised internal layout helps reduce the likelihood of aeration in the oil under demanding use, supporting consistent damping feel over a ride.

Tuning controls

This model provides damping adjustment for both rebound and compression, allowing you to balance support, grip and chassis attitude to suit your bike and riding conditions. It also includes spring preload adjustment to set sag appropriately for rider load.

Before you install

  • Confirm your exact model and year are listed for compatibility before fitting.
  • Set sag and baseline damping after installation, then fine-tune in small steps.
  • Inspect linkage, swingarm bushes and mounting hardware condition to ensure the shock can perform as intended.
