The Ohlins STX 36 Twin rear shock set is built for classic Honda road bikes that run twin rear dampers. It’s engineered as a matched pair to restore control and consistency where original suspension is typically underdamped and tired. This model is listed as superseded, which can matter for parts and support planning.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road shocks are designed to deliver predictable damping and a stable feel through corners and over uneven surfaces. The STX platform focuses on repeatable performance and serviceability over the long term.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders maintaining or upgrading a classic Honda with twin rear shocks, including the CB 750 F, CB 750 KZ, CB 900, CB1100F, CB1100R and CBX 1000. It’s a sensible choice for road use where you want improved chassis control without changing the bike’s character.

Shock design & features

This is an emulsion-type design, where oil and gas share the same working volume. As a twin-shock arrangement, it is supplied as a left/right set intended to work together as a system at the rear of the motorcycle.

Tuning controls

Rebound damping adjustment is provided to fine-tune how the rear suspension extends after compression. Spring preload is adjustable to suit rider weight, load and ride height preference.

Serviceability/lifecycle

These shocks are designed to be maintained with routine servicing so performance can be kept consistent over time. Note: this part number is listed as replaced by HO 953, which may affect availability of direct replacements and some parts support pathways.
