The Ohlins HO818 STX 36 is a rear shock absorber developed for the Honda Forza 300 scooter. It’s a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design intended to deliver consistent damping behaviour and predictable chassis response. Built around Ohlins STX architecture, it’s suited to riders who want more control and tunability from the rear suspension.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins applies proven damping principles across its scooter range, focusing on stability, traction and clear feedback. This unit is designed to handle everyday road use while maintaining control when conditions or pace change.

Who this shock is for

  • Honda Forza 300 riders looking for improved rear-end control and feel
  • Owners who carry a passenger or luggage and want more adjustment range
  • Riders who value a serviceable, tunable rear shock rather than a sealed OEM-style unit

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 scooter rear shock layout
  • Gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to support consistent damping
  • Purpose-built fitment for rear mono-shock applications on the Forza 300

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to control return speed after bumps and load changes
  • Compression damping adjustment to manage support and impact control

Before you install

  • Confirm the shock is matched to your scooter model and any accessories that may affect load
  • Set sag and balance front-to-rear before making damping changes
  • If you’re unsure on setup direction, record your original settings so you can return to baseline

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, the HO818 is designed to be maintained. Periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent over time and allows internal components to be refreshed as required.
