🏍️ GENUINE KYB RED REAR SHOCK FOR HONDA GIORNO (320MM+10MM) K-ELITE JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY
Hello there! The Honda Giorno+ captures everyone's attention with its incredibly luxurious and elegant retro scooter silhouette. However, the stock rear suspension is a significant weak point that prevents a truly perfect riding experience. Every time you carry a heavy load over speed bumps, the single stock shock easily bottoms out its travel, creating harsh, spine-jarring "clunks," accompanied by highly uncomfortable rear-end floating and wobbling at high speeds.
Deeply understanding your desire to break through in both damping performance and trendy style, Monkey89 proudly introduces: Genuine Japanese KYB K-Elite Red Rear Shock (320mm+10mm) for Honda Giorno. Featuring a fiery Sport Racing Red colorway, this 2W Performance segment masterpiece will re-establish absolute solidity and deliver an unprecedentedly plush experience on every road.

⚙️ DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
🚀 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE OF THE K-ELITE RED
-
⚖️ Smart Rebound Damping Control System (16 Clicks): This is the core technological upgrade that elevates the K-Elite series far beyond the standard K-Alpha line. When you accelerate rapidly on straights or lean into sharp corners, the Rebound dial precisely controls the extension speed of the piston rod (rebound stroke). For a single-sided rear suspension, this is critical; it ensures the rear wheel grips the road continuously, completely neutralizing bouncy floating sensations, and effectively resisting swingarm wobble.
-
🔧 Thread Spring Preload Customization: The smart threaded collar allows you to easily adjust the initial compression of the spring to suit the actual payload. Whether you're gently cruising solo or carrying a passenger and luggage in the trunk, KYB's heavy-duty steel spring will fully absorb road impacts, extinguish annoying "clunks," and completely prevent bottoming out.
-
📐 Flexible Length Adjuster Ring: This feature allows you to increase the shock height from 320mm up to an additional +10mm. From a motorcycle geometry perspective, Monkey89 recommends adjusting the increase between +5mm and +8mm. This slight lift raises ground clearance, helping you confidently mount curbs without fear of scraping the undercarriage, while maintaining safe piston stroke operation.
-
💨 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 shock oscillates at high frequencies on city streets, the hydraulic oil does not aerate (preventing cavitation). Thanks to this, the damping system maintains smooth stability, ultra-fast feedback, and completely avoids shock fade under hot weather conditions.
🛠️ COMPATIBILITY & REAL-WORLD INSTALLATION
-
✅ 100% Plug and Play Fitment: The shock possesses the standard 320mm height and a 100% precise bottom Clevis (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 fabricate any custom CNC brackets.
-
✂️ Note Regarding Plastic Fairings: Because the high-performance K-Elite shock line integrates an upward-facing gas-pressurized piggyback reservoir (whereas the stock Giorno uses a non-reservoir shock), during installation technicians will need to make a slight aesthetic trim to the inner matte plastic/inner fender to create free operating space for the reservoir. The modification is completely hidden inside and absolutely does not affect the luxurious exterior appearance of the scooter.
-
📍 Installation Position: Installed as a direct replacement at the single rear shock absorber position on the motorcycle (left side).
