The Ohlins HO236 STX 36 twin rear shock set is built for the Honda CB 400 Superfour, focusing on controlled damping and consistent chassis behaviour. Designed as a twin-shock rear arrangement, it suits riders who want a more precise and supported feel than typical stock suspension. It is a gas-pressurised design intended to maintain damping consistency as conditions change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a clear focus on damping control, feedback and repeatability. This STX-series twin-shock setup is designed to help the rear end stay composed through braking, cornering and acceleration.

Who this shock is for

Suited to road riders looking for improved stability and traction, as well as riders who regularly push harder on spirited rides. It’s also a sensible choice if you’re refreshing an older twin-shock platform and want modern damping behaviour without changing the character of the bike.

Shock design & features

  • Twin rear shock configuration for Honda CB 400 Superfour fitment
  • Gas-pressurised damping system to help reduce fade and maintain consistency
  • STX 36 Twin product family architecture

Tuning controls

This model provides adjustable damping to let you tailor the feel to your tyres, load and riding conditions. It features independent compression and rebound damping adjustment, allowing changes to support and ride comfort without swapping components.

Before you install

Check overall condition of swingarm bushes, linkage and mounting hardware before fitting, as wear in these areas can mask the benefit of a new shock. After installation, confirm sag and damping settings to suit your weight and typical riding load.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As with all performance dampers, periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and internal wear under control. A regular service schedule is recommended, particularly if the bike sees frequent hard use or challenging road conditions.
