Hello there! Do you own a premium scooter like the new generation Honda SH150/160 VN or the touring "spaceship" Honda PCX 160, but constantly feel fatigued by an overly stiff stock suspension system?
The jarring sensations, the heartbreaking "clunk" when crossing potholes, and the unstable floating and rear-end wobbling when you carry heavy loads or corner aggressively at high speeds significantly reduce your inherent confidence and smoothness.
Deeply understanding your desire to fine-tune your riding experience, Monkey89 proudly introduces: Genuine Japanese KYB K-Elite Black Rear Shocks (370mm) for Honda SH150/160 VN / PCX 160. Belonging to the high-performance 2W Performance upgrade segment, this luxurious matte black titanium piggyback twin shock kit is born to deliver absolute rock-solid stability and plushness on every journey.

⚙️ DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
🚀 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE OF THE K-ELITE BLACK
-
⚖️ Smart Rebound Damping Control System (16 Clicks): Completely distinct from the standard K-Alpha line, the K-Elite possesses a highly valuable Rebound dial that precisely controls the upward extension speed of the piston rod (rebound stroke) after compression. When you operate a large scooter at high speeds or on a long tour, this feature ensures the rear wheel firmly grips the road, completely neutralizing bouncy floating sensations and extinguishing dangerous rear swingarm and rear-end wobble.
-
🔧 Thread Spring Preload Customization: The smart mechanical threaded collar allows you to easily increase or decrease the initial spring compression to suit the exact actual total payload. Whether you're gently cruising solo or heavily loaded with a passenger and luggage, KYB's premium spring will fully absorb impact forces from potholes, completely extinguishing annoying clunks and preventing bottoming out.
-
📐 Flexible Length Adjuster Ring: This feature allows you to adjust the overall height to perfectly suit both scooter models. From the standard dimension, you can fine-tune to increase up to a maximum of +10mm. Monkey89 recommends adjusting the increase between +5mm and +8mm to subtly raise the ground clearance, helping you comfortably mount city curbs while keeping the piston stroke operating safely.
-
💨 Mono Tube Structure & Free-Piston System: The free-piston completely isolates the Japanese hydraulic oil from the compressed nitrogen gas in the piggyback reservoir. When the pair of shocks must bounce continuously at high frequencies, the hydraulic oil does not aerate (preventing cavitation/foaming). Thanks to this, the damping system always maintains smooth stability, ultra-fast feedback, and avoids shock fade under hot weather conditions.
🛠️ COMPATIBILITY & REAL-WORLD INSTALLATION
-
✅ For Honda PCX 160 Models: The geometric dimensions and bottom Clevis (U-mount) fit perfectly. The pair of shocks installs 100% Plug and Play exactly like stock. The fairing clearance on the PCX 160 is extremely spacious, so the piggyback reservoir will fit flawlessly. There is ABSOLUTELY NO need to cut or trim the plastic fairings, proudly showing off the highly commanding matte titanium undercarriage.
-
✂️ For Honda SH125/150/160 VN Models (New generations from 2020 to present): The product bolts precisely into the scooter's rear suspension system. However, because the high-performance K-Elite shock features an upward-facing gas-pressurized piggyback reservoir (unlike the non-reservoir stock SH VN shocks), during installation, technicians must make a slight aesthetic trim to the inner plastic mudguard/inner fenderto create free operating space for the reservoir assembly. The modification is discreetly hidden underneath, handled highly aesthetically, and absolutely does not affect the luxurious exterior appearance of the scooter.
-
📍 Installation Position: Installed symmetrically on both sides directly at the motorcycle's rear suspension system.
