🏍️ GENUINE KYB BLACK REAR SHOCKS FOR HONDA MONKEY / WAVE / FUTURE 125I (330MM + 10MM) K-ALPHA JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY
Even if you own durable national underbones like the Honda Wave and Future 125i, or the personalized mini-bike Honda Monkey, the biggest nightmare is always the stock suspension degrading too quickly over time. Every time you carry a passenger or haul luggage, the rear end exposes its weakness through harsh "clunks" that shoot straight to your spine, accompanied by highly unsafe wobbling and floating when going over speed bumps.
Fully understanding this pain point, Monkey89 brings you the perfect mechanical upgrade solution: KYB K-Alpha Black Rear Shocks (330mm). This high-performance twin shock line features an incredibly rugged Stealth Black colorway, helping your beloved ride glide through the streets smoothly while maintaining rock-solid stability on every journey.

⚙️ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & ADJUSTABILITY
🚀 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE
-
🛡️ Smooth Urban Commuting & Perfect Stock Replacement: The K-Alpha line leans towards high practicality by eliminating complex hydraulic damping dials that are rarely used in the city. The internal hydraulic valving is softly tuned, rapidly dampening oscillations from potholes and manhole covers. It delivers a seamlessly plush stroke far superior to stock shocks while optimizing your upgrade cost.
-
⚖️ Standard Double-Eyelet Design: The bottom eyelet mount ensures that compressive forces from the chassis are transmitted straight down to the swingarm pivot coaxially and solidly. This completely neutralizes torsional twisting forces, increasing the lifespan of both the shocks and the swingarm bushings.
-
💨 Mono Tube & Free-Piston Technology: The free-piston system inside the piggyback reservoir completely isolates the hydraulic fluid from the high-pressure compressed Nitrogen gas. Thus, the damping oil does not aerate (foam) or overheat during continuous operation, keeping the rear wheel firmly planted and completely eliminating rear-end wobbling or floating at high speeds.
-
🔧 Spring Preload Adjustment: Allows you to proactively manage the spring's stiffness/softness based on actual payload. For light solo city cruising, loosen the spring for a plush stroke. When carrying a passenger or a large amount of luggage, simply increase the spring compression to firmly support the rear end without bottoming out the stroke travel.
-
📐 Valuable Length Adjuster Feature: Allows you to flexibly extend the shock body up to an additional 10mm (+10mm) from the standard 330mm length. This feature helps you proactively adjust for a higher ground clearance or slightly raise the scooter's stance for a sleeker profile based on personal preference.
🛠️ COMPATIBILITY & FITMENT
-
✅ Standard Spec Fitment (Plug and Play): With standard double-eyelet mounts and a 330mm stroke length, this pair of shocks is an absolute direct bolt-on for twin-shock underbones including: Honda Wave (Wave Alpha, Wave RSX, Wave S...) and Honda Future 125i (Future Led, Future II...). Simply slide the shocks onto the original mounting studs on the frame and swingarm, then tighten the nuts—no custom CNC brackets or load-bearing structural modifications are required.
-
🐒 For Honda Monkey 125: The eyelet-to-eyelet configuration and 330mm length perfectly match the specs of the Monkey 125's stock shocks. These shocks provide an incredibly muscular, aggressive, and sporty piggyback profile for this mini-bike without any clearance issues or rubbing against chassis components.
