The Ohlins HO252 STX 36 Twin is a rear twin-shock unit designed for Honda CB 1000 BIG applications. Built around Ohlins’ road-focused damping architecture, it targets predictable control, stability and tyre contact across everyday riding and spirited use. It’s intended as a complete replacement shock package with a matched spring.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is engineered to deliver consistent damping behaviour and clear chassis feedback. The HO252 is part of the STX 36 Twin family, suited to twin-shock rear layouts where balance, composure and tuneability matter.

Who this shock is for

This rear twin-shock setup suits riders who want a more controlled, confidence-inspiring rear end than worn or basic originals can provide. It’s aimed at street riders who value stability through corners, improved compliance over bumps and the ability to tailor behaviour to load and conditions.
