The Ohlins HO728 is an STX 36 twin rear shock set designed for the Honda Rebel 500. Built around Ohlins road and race suspension experience, it focuses on controlled damping and consistent feel across changing road conditions. This unit uses a gas-pressurised design to help maintain damping stability during sustained use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins twin shock solutions are developed to improve chassis control and tyre contact without compromising everyday usability. The STX 36 Twin platform is intended to deliver predictable feedback and a well-supported rear end for street-focused bikes like the Rebel 500.

Who this shock is for

Suited to Honda Rebel 500 riders who want more composed rear suspension behaviour than standard equipment, particularly when ride pace, load, or road quality changes. It’s a practical choice for riders who value tunability and repeatable handling characteristics.

Shock design & features

This is a twin rear shock arrangement using a gas-pressurised, oil/gas-separated layout to support consistent damping. The STX architecture is aimed at stable performance through longer rides and varying operating temperatures, with Ohlins-developed internal valving focused on traction and control.

Tuning controls

The HO728 provides adjustable rebound damping, allowing you to refine how quickly the rear suspension returns after a bump or load transfer. This adjustment helps you balance comfort, grip, and chassis stability depending on your riding style and typical road conditions.

Before you install

Confirm the application is correct for your Honda Rebel 500 and that the supplied twin shock configuration matches your bike’s mounting arrangement. After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound to suit your load, tyres, and riding conditions for best results.
