Product information "Touratech Front Shock Absorber for BMW R1200GS Adventure 2006-2013 Type Extreme"
This Extreme Shock Absorber is the absolute premium class in terms of suspension technology. Even under extreme demands. Here, the PDS is installed, a hydraulic bottoming protection through the use of a second damping piston. Even under harsh trail conditions with full luggage, there is no bottoming out, preventing mechanical overload of the shock absorber. The damping works depending on the situation. In the majority of riding conditions, the shock absorber is comfortably and power-saving adjusted, before the PDS engages in the last part of the shock absorber's travel. Nevertheless, the strengths of the Telelever system are supported by the fine responsiveness of this Touratech shock absorber. The high and low-speed damping adjustment allows for precise influence to meet your requirements for riding comfort.
Important points at a glance:
=> The shock absorber is configured and ready to ride based on our experiences for the front of the BMW R1200GS ADV.
=> Parameters include: vehicle weight / linkage of the shock absorber / structural conditions / test rides.
=> The shock absorber mentioned here is designed for nearly 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 component for the rear of the BMW R1200GS ADV is here:
=> Touratech Suspension Shock Absorber *rear* for BMW R1200GS ADV 2006-2012 Type *Extreme* 01-044-5872-0
=> Replacing only one component will not achieve optimal riding behavior.
INFO: Does not fit with steering damper *CSC* 01-044-5858-0
Features of the Touratech Suspension Extreme 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 and parts 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 operations of the Touratech Race Team.
=> “Extreme” compression damping adjustment is always separately adjustable in high speed and low speed
*** This allows for very individual adjustment of the compression / rebound stage. Ideal adaptation to changing requirements.
=> Separate “Extreme” reservoir in the damping group of the shock absorber.
*** This results in better cooling of the damping during operation.
*** This leads to higher load capacity and longer lifespan of the shock absorber.
=> Separation piston design: This allows the damping fluids oil and nitrogen to act separately.
*** This results in finer responsiveness of the shock absorber.
*** High, precise damping performance even at very high damping frequencies (bad roads, trails).
*** Better cooling of the shock absorber.
*** Minimal restrictions on the installation position of the shock absorber in the motorcycle.
=> “Extreme” PDS installed, a hydraulic bottoming protection through the use of a second
*** damping piston. Even under the most extreme trail conditions with full luggage, there is no
*** bottoming out, preventing mechanical overload of the shock absorber.
=> This shock absorber can also be installed in the limited installation space of the BMW R1200GS ADV 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 storage on your motorcycle, adjustments are possible. The shock absorber will then be individually adjusted to your needs by us with a spring of higher spring rate. Please use our suspension check form and send us the completed form.
