Touratech Front Shock Absorber for BMW R1100GS from 1995 Type *Level1*

Product information "Touratech Front Shock Absorber for BMW R1100GS from 1995 Type *Level1*"

This shock absorber has been specifically configured for the Telelever front wheel guidance of the BMW R1100GS. The strengths of the Telelever system* are supported by the fine responsiveness of the Touratech shock absorber. The large adjustment range has allowed us to adapt the front of the motorcycle to the demands of an extreme long-distance journey with long off-road stages and high loads. The separation piston design and finely adjustable damping allow for a more precise adjustment and balance than is possible with the series components of the motorcycle manufacturers. The spring preload can be adjusted with the adjustment tool to adapt the balance of your motorcycle - depending on the type of rear shock used. The damping adjustment of this Level1 shock absorber allows for the necessary influence on the rebound and compression stages to implement your individual requirements for riding comfort at the shock absorber.


Important points at a glance:
=> The shock absorber is configured and ready to ride based on our experiences for the front of the BMW R1100GS.
=> Parameters are: vehicle weight / linkage of the shock absorber / structural conditions / test rides.
=> The shock absorber mentioned here is designed for almost all possible loading conditions of the motorcycle front.
=> Only with significantly higher weight at the front (modifications / conversions) is a higher spring rate sensible.
=> In all suspension solutions, the rear and front areas of the motorcycle should be adjusted.
=> The possible components for the rear of the BMW R1100GS * are here:
=> Touratech Suspension shock absorber *rear* for BMW R1100GS >1995 Type *Level1* 01-040-5860-0
=> When replacing only one component, optimal riding behavior is not achieved.



The configured Level1 shock absorber with its adjustment options is very well suited for this motorcycle type. The suspension only needs to be adjusted once for the entire suspension setup.
With a full/empty tank or tank bag, no adjustments are necessary on the go due to the interaction of the shock absorber with the BMW Telelever.

Features of the Touratech Suspension Level1 shock absorber:
=> The shock absorber housing is made of aluminum.
*** This results in the lowest possible weight.
=> Special, low-friction seals are installed.
*** This results in very low wear and a long lifespan of the shock absorber.
=> Stable stainless steel bushings for the mounting screws are installed in the shock absorber eye.
*** This ensures a stable, play-free fit of the mounting screw even under the highest loads.
=> All components are designed for intensive use with heavy touring motorcycles.
=> The damping settings were developed based on the experiences and requirements of Touratech.
=> The basis is many travel kilometers and the experiences from the deployments of the Touratech Race Team.
=> Separation piston design: This allows the damping fluids oil and nitrogen to act separately.
*** This results in a finer response of the shock absorber.
*** High, precise damping performance even at very high damping frequencies (bad roads, off-road).
*** Better cooling of the shock absorber.
*** Minimal restrictions on the installation position of the shock absorber in the motorcycle.
=> This shock absorber can also be installed in the limited installation space of the BMW R1100GS front.
=> QR code on the shock absorber with individual shock absorber information
*** This allows for easy retrieval of shock-specific information by scanning with a smartphone.
*** Always accessible information on the basic setting of the shock absorber. Reset possible in case of incorrect setting.



If you have installed a larger tank than the original tank on your motorcycle or made modifications for additional luggage accommodation on your motorcycle, adjustments are possible. The shock absorber will then be individually adapted to your needs by us with a spring of higher spring rate. Please use our suspension check form and send us the completed form.
