Touratech Suspension Shock Absorber for KTM 990 SM-T (2009-2012) Type HighEnd

This high-end shock absorber for the KTM 990 SM-T is perfectly designed for touring and riding operations with frequently and significantly changing load and riding conditions. From the rear bag to the loaded luggage system and/or passenger operation, any type of additional load can be compensated for by the very large adjustment range. The balance of the motorcycle can be easily and quickly restored by you using the hydraulic preload adjustment via the handwheel. The very finely adjustable damping at the reservoir allows for effective, precise, and personalized suspension settings for any road condition and purpose, whether it be highways, federal roads, narrow country roads, off-road sections, long-distance travel with heavy luggage, or a sporty, ambitious riding style.

You will experience a completely new riding sensation with your motorcycle.

Features of the Touratech Suspension High-End Shock Absorber:
=> The shock absorber housing is made of aluminum.
*** This results in the lowest possible weight.
=> All components and parts are designed for intensive use with heavy touring motorcycles.
=> Special, low-friction seals are installed.
*** This results in very low wear and a long lifespan of the shock absorber.
=> Stable stainless steel bushings are installed in the shock eye for the mounting screws.
*** This ensures a stable, play-free fit of the mounting screw even under the highest loads.
=> Separation piston design. This allows the damping fluids oil and nitrogen to act separately.
*** This results in a finer response of the shock absorber.
*** This provides high, precise damping performance even at very high damping frequencies (bad road conditions).
*** Better cooling of the shock absorber.
*** Minimal restrictions on the installation position of the shock absorber in the motorcycle.
=> Hydraulic high-end preload adjustment via a conveniently positioned handwheel.
=> 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.
=> High-end 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 high-end reservoir in the damping group of the shock absorber.
*** Better cooling of the damping during operation.
*** This results in higher load capacity and longer lifespan of the shock absorber.
=> 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 settings.



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 adapted to your needs by us through a spring with a higher spring rate. Please use our suspension check form and send us the completed form.
