KYB K-ELITE SERIES PIGGYBACK REAR TWIN SHOCKS (305MM+10MM) FOR YAMAHA NVX 155 / HONDA SH150 ITALIA - SPORT RACING RED
Hello Boss! When operating high-capacity maxi-scooters like the Yamaha NVX 155 or classic European icons like the Honda SH150 Italia, factory rear shock absorbers often reveal performance limits under demanding conditions. Stock suspension under-damping can lead to uncomfortable rear-end wallowing during high-speed cornering, harsh bottoming-out over speed bumps, and overall chassis instability.
To resolve these handling issues, Monkey89 introduces the KYB K-Elite Series Piggyback Rear Twin Shocks (305mm) for Yamaha NVX 155 / Honda SH150 Italia - Sport Racing Red. Positioned in the 2W Performance high-grade aftermarket segment, this dual-shock setup features a striking Sport Racing Red finish and piggyback gas reservoirs, establishing solid chassis stability and confident handling on every ride.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & ADJUSTABILITY
REAL-WORLD RIDER BENEFITS
Translating technical features into real-world riding benefits, the Monkey89 engineering team highlights why the K-Elite Red is a valuable upgrade:
-
16-Click Rebound Damping Control System: Unlike basic non-adjustable shock absorbers, the K-Elite series features an accessible Rebound Damping dial located at the shock clevis to control shaft rebound speed. During high-speed highway cruising or spirited cornering, precise rebound damping keeps the rear tire planted, significantly reducing rear-end wallowing, sway, and chassis oscillation.
-
Threaded Spring Preload Tuning: The fine-threaded adjustment collar allows precise preload setting to match total rider, passenger, and cargo weight. Whether riding solo in urban traffic or two-up with heavy luggage, high-tensile steel springs absorb severe impacts, minimizing harsh bottom-out clunks and stroke compression limits.
-
Flexible Length Adjuster Collar: Allows height fine-tuning from 305mm up to +10mm. Monkey89 engineering recommends an extension range of +5mm to +8mm to slightly increase ground clearance while maintaining safe damper rod travel.
-
Monotube Architecture with Free-Piston Separation: The floating piston maintains complete isolation between Japanese hydraulic oil and pressurized nitrogen gas inside the piggyback reservoir. Under high-frequency compression cycles during long-distance rides, oil aeration (foaming) is prevented, ensuring fade-free, consistent damping response even in hot weather.
FITMENT & COMPATIBILITY
Monkey89 ensures clear fitment specifications so you can choose with confidence:
