Touratech Suspension Shock Absorber for Suzuki V-Strom 650/XT 2012-2016 Type Level2/ExploreHP

Product information "Touratech Suspension Shock Absorber for Suzuki V-Strom 650/XT 2012-2016 Type Level2/ExploreHP"

The Level 2 Shock Absorber is the right choice for long-distance and touring use for the Suzuki V-Strom 650/XT. This type of shock absorber offers a wide adjustment range and high reserves for the demands of motorcycle travel. The separation piston design, hydraulic preload adjustment, and finely adjustable damping allow for a more precise adaptation of your motorcycle to different loading conditions than is possible with the stock components from motorcycle manufacturers. The balance of the motorcycle can be easily and quickly adjusted by hand via the hydraulic preload adjustment. The damping settings of this Level 2 shock absorber allow for the necessary influence on the rebound and compression stages to meet your individual requirements for riding comfort.


Important Points at a Glance:
=> The shock absorber is configured and ready to ride based on our experiences for the Suzuki V-Strom 650/XT.
=> Parameters include: vehicle weight / linkage of the shock absorber / structural conditions / test rides.
=> The shock absorber mentioned here is designed for a rider weight of up to 100kg including travel luggage.
=> For all suspension solutions, both the rear and front areas of the motorcycle should be adjusted.

Replacing only one component will not achieve optimal handling.



A shock absorber that allows you to easily and comfortably respond to different loading conditions of your motorcycle.

Features of the Touratech Suspension Level 2 Shock Absorber:
=> The shock absorber housing is made of aluminum, resulting in minimal weight.
=> Special, low-friction seals are used.
=> This results in very low wear and a long lifespan of the shock absorber.
=> Stable stainless steel bushings are installed in the shock absorber eye for the mounting screws.
=> 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.
=> Separation piston design. This allows the damping fluids oil and nitrogen to act separately.
=> 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 preload adjustment via a conveniently positioned handwheel.
=> 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 settings 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 predominantly passenger operation / with travel luggage 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.
