The Ohlins HO242 STX 36 scooter rear shock pair is designed for Honda Air Blade 125 and Air Blade 160 riders looking for more controlled suspension behaviour in everyday road use. Built around Ohlins STX 36 architecture, it focuses on maintaining consistent damping feel and improving chassis stability over changing surfaces. Supplied as a matched twin rear-shock set for straightforward fitment on the Air Blade platform.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins STX 36 scooter units apply proven suspension design principles to small-capacity scooters, with an emphasis on predictable response and tunability. The HO242 kit is intended to provide a more composed ride and clearer feedback compared with basic, non-adjustable scooter dampers.

Shock design & features

  • Twin rear shock configuration for the Honda Air Blade chassis
  • STX 36 design with oil/gas separation to help maintain consistent damping during use
  • Supplied with fitted springs as part of the complete pair

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Before you install

  • Confirm suitability for Honda Air Blade 125 and Air Blade 160 and that your scooter uses a twin rear shock layout
  • Inspect mounting hardware and bushings during installation and torque fasteners to the scooter manufacturer specifications
  • Set rider sag via preload, then fine-tune rebound to suit your load and road conditions

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are built to be serviceable. Periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent over time, particularly if the scooter is used daily or in harsh conditions.

Is it right for you?

This pair suits riders who want adjustable rebound and preload to better match their weight, passenger use, or commuting conditions. If you prefer a fit-and-forget shock with no external adjustments, an alternative non-adjustable option may be a better match.
