The Ohlins HO837 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built to improve control and consistency on the Honda NX 650 Dominator across mixed surfaces. It is designed to manage changing loads and terrain without harshness, helping maintain stability and comfort on longer rides. This unit suits riders wanting a serviceable, tunable rear shock upgrade for adventure and touring use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is engineered with a focus on predictable damping behaviour and repeatable adjustment. The HO837 is part of the STX 46 Adventure family, aimed at riders who split time between sealed roads and rougher tracks.

Who this shock is for

• Honda NX 650 Dominator owners looking for improved rear-end control for adventure and touring.
• Riders who carry luggage or occasionally ride two-up and want more composure from the rear suspension.
• Anyone who wants external adjustability for changing conditions.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 monotube rear shock that uses a separated oil and gas design for more consistent damping under sustained use. The HO837 is supplied with a fitted spring (01095-59) and is intended as a complete rear mono shock replacement.

Tuning controls

The HO837 provides damping adjustment for rebound and compression, allowing you to tailor feel and control to terrain, load, and riding pace. Spring preload adjustment is also provided to help set ride height and support when adding luggage or a pillion.

Before you install

• Confirm correct fitment for the Honda NX 650 Dominator and check overall condition of linkage bearings and mounting hardware before installation.
• After fitting, set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit your riding conditions.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, the HO837 is designed to be serviced and revalved as required. Routine servicing helps maintain damping consistency and extends component life, particularly when used on dusty or rough roads.
