⚙️ DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
🚀 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE OF THE K-ELITE BLACK 330MM
-
⚖️ Rebound Damping Control System (16 Clicks): The core upgrade compared to the K-Alpha line. This feature allows you to master the speed at which the shock extends after receiving compressive force from the road. When you travel at high speeds or carry heavy luggage on long tours, adjusting the Rebound keeps the scooter continuously glued to the road, completely neutralizing bouncing or rear-end wobbling during cornering, and providing absolute stability.
-
🔧 Thread Spring Preload: The smart threaded collar allows you to customize the compression of the premium steel spring based on the rider's weight. This system completely extinguishes bottoming out or harsh clunks when the scooter goes over large potholes, delivering ideal plushness for city riding.
-
📐 Active Lowering/Ride Height Mechanism (Length Adjuster): At 330mm, this is the standard original height for the Airblade 150. For the Yamaha Xmax 300 (whose stock shocks are 350mm long), equipping these 330mm shocks will lower the seat height by approximately 2cm. This is a fantastic "lifesaver" solution for average-height bikers to easily put their feet down without needing to shave the seat foam, maintaining the scooter's stance. The threaded mount still allows you to flexibly and safely increase the height by +5mm to +8mm for the rear swingarm structure.
-
💨 Mono Tube Structure with Free-Piston System: The free-piston is tasked with separating the premium Japanese hydraulic oil layer and the high-pressure nitrogen gas in the piggyback reservoir. Thanks to this mono-tube structure, the shock oil does not foam when oscillating continuously. The suspension system responds incredibly fast, without experiencing damping fade even when working continuously under hot weather.
🛠️ COMPATIBILITY & REAL-WORLD INSTALLATION
-
🦅 For Honda Airblade 150: The 330mm shock dimension matches the stock scooter's geometry perfectly. The bottom U-mount and top round mount align flawlessly. The product installs as a direct original replacement (Plug and Play), requiring no custom CNC brackets. However, because the K-Elite shock integrates an upward-facing gas-pressurized piggyback reservoir, you will need to aesthetically trim a little bit of the inner plastic fairingto create clearance for the reservoir to operate stably. The cut is hidden inside and completely does not affect the scooter's exterior aesthetics.
-
⚔️ For Yamaha Xmax 300: This is an extremely popular lowering solution. The shock fits 100% perfectly like stock at the mounts and structure. The piggyback reservoir tucks neatly into the existing space under the Xmax 300's rear swingarm, requiring ABSOLUTELY NO cutting or trimming of the plastic fairings.
-
📍 Installation Position: Installed symmetrically on both sides at the motorcycle's rear suspension.
