🏍️ GENUINE KYB BLACK REAR SHOCK FOR HONDA GIORNO (320MM+10MM) K-ELITE JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY
Hello there! The Honda Giorno+ boasts an elegant and aristocratic European-style appearance, but the actual riding experience might sometimes leave you unsatisfied as the stock single shock is too soft, easily bottoms out its travel, and emits an annoying "clunk" when hitting potholes.
Worse yet, because the scooter utilizes a single-sided suspension setup, rear-end wobbling or floating can easily occur when you carry a heavy load or accelerate quickly in the city. Deeply understanding your desire for total plushness, Monkey89 introduces the perfect undercarriage tech upgrade solution: Genuine Japanese KYB K-Elite Black Rear Shock (320mm+10mm) for Honda Giorno. Belonging to the high-performance 2W Performance segment with a mysterious Black colorway, this masterpiece will re-establish rock-solid stability and protect your beloved ride smoothly across every mile of the city.

⚙️ DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
🚀 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE OF THE K-ELITE BLACK
-
⚖️ Smart Rebound Damping Control System (16 Clicks): Completely distinct from the basic K-Alpha line, the K-Elite is equipped with a highly valuable Rebound dial that precisely controls the upward extension speed of the piston rod. For single-shock scooter setups like the Giorno+, the Rebound serves a vital role in neutralizing swingarm wobble and keeping the rear end from floating or bouncing when crossing consecutive speed bumps, delivering fantastic stability during cornering.
-
🔧 Thread Spring Preload Customization: The smart threaded collar allows you to easily adjust the compression of the heavy-duty steel spring according to the exact actual payload. Whether you're gently cruising solo in the city or carrying a passenger and a trunk full of luggage, KYB's premium spring will completely absorb impacts, extinguishing annoying clunks and bottoming out.
-
📐 Active Length Adjuster Ring: This feature allows you to increase the shock height from the standard 320mm up to an additional +10mm. To protect the piston stroke and the safe angle of the engine block, Monkey89 recommends adjusting the increase between +5mm and +8mm. This slight lift raises ground clearance, helping you comfortably mount city curbs without fear of scraping the undercarriage.
-
💨 Mono Tube Structure & Free-Piston System: The free-piston completely isolates the Japanese hydraulic oil and the compressed nitrogen gas in the piggyback reservoir. When the shock bounces continuously on city streets, the hydraulic oil does not aerate (emulsify/foam). Thanks to this, the suspension system always maintains smooth stability, ultra-fast feedback, and avoids shock "fade" under the hot sun.
🛠️ COMPATIBILITY & REAL-WORLD INSTALLATION
-
✅ 100% Plug and Play Fitment: The shock possesses the standard 320mm height and a 100% precise bottom U-mount structure that tightly hugs the engine block of the Honda Giorno+ 125. You simply remove the stock shock and bolt the KYB shock in using the original hardware, achieving a perfect fit without needing to modify any details on the mounts.
-
✂️ Note Regarding Plastic Fairings: Because the K-Elite shock line integrates an upward-facing gas-pressurized piggyback reservoir (whereas the stock Giorno uses a non-reservoir shock), during installation you will need to make a slight aesthetic trim to the inner plastic fairing/inner fender to create free operating space for the piggyback reservoir. The cut is handled aesthetically by technicians, hidden discreetly inside the under-seat storage, and completely does not affect the scooter's luxurious exterior appearance.
-
📍 Installation Position: Installed as a direct replacement at the single rear shock absorber position on the motorcycle (left side).
