*** 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 operations of the Touratech Race Team.

*** Finer response of the shock absorber.
*** High, precise damping performance even at very high damping frequencies (bad roads, tracks).
*** Better cooling of the shock absorber.
*** Minimal restrictions on the installation position of the shock absorber in the motorcycle.
=> Hydraulic high-end spring preload via a conveniently positioned handwheel.

*** Always accessible information on the basic setting of the shock absorber. Reset possible in case of incorrect settings.



The basic setup installed here is tuned for riders up to 100kg including travel luggage. Adjustments
for higher rider weights (more than 100kg) and/or for predominantly passenger operation / with travel luggage are
