Rear suspension shock absorber for BMW R1200GS (2004-2012) model *Extreme*

The suspension damper tube Touratech Extreme is an absolute premium class in terms of suspension technology. This Extreme shock absorber tube for the BMW R1200GS has been perfectly developed for use on the road and on the road, in frequently changing load and driving conditions or for the most extreme requirements. For example, the Extreme shock absorber tube is equipped with PDS, a hydraulic breakage protection by means of a second shock absorber piston. Even in the most extreme track situations with full luggage, no punctures occur and a mechanical overload of the shock absorber tube is prevented. The damping is road-dependent. During most riding functions, the shock tube is adjusted comfortably and with little effort, before the PDS intervenes in the last part of the shock tube stroke.


For you this means: Any volume of luggage, from the rear bag to a loaded luggage system and/or the passenger function, is captured by the Extreme adjustment range. You can re-establish the balance of the motorcycle easily and quickly by means of a thumbwheel through the hydraulic spring initial tension. The finely adjustable damping in the compensating reservoir allows efficient, precise and riding style-adapted suspension adjustment at all times for all road conditions and purposes, no matter whether freeways, dual carriageways, country roads, small country roads, off-road sections, long-distance trips with large luggage or a fast and ambitious riding style.
The length adjustment completes the premium equipment of our Extreme shock tube. With 8 mm of adjustment range, adaptations, such as modified wheel sizes, can be integrated into the balance of your motorcycle right from the start.

You will enjoy a completely new riding feeling with your motorcycle.

The main features at a glance:
=> The shock tube has been configured for the BMW R1200GS based on our experience and is set up ready to ride.
=> The parameters are: vehicle weight / shock absorber tube articulation / constructive particularities / test rides.
=> The shock absorber tube named here is designed for a driver up to 100 kg including luggage.
=> Shock absorber tube length adjustment by 8 mm (- 2 mm / + 6 mm).
*** This shock absorber tube can also be adapted in case of special modifications. Example: smaller road wheels.

=> Replacing only one component does not result in optimal riding behavior.



Features of the Extreme suspension damper tube Touratech:
=> The damper tube housing is made of aluminum.
*** This keeps weight to a minimum.
=> All elements and components are designed for intensive use with heavy touring motorcycles.
=> Special seals with low friction are mounted.
*** This results in very low wear and a long service life of the shock tube.
=> Steel bushings are mounted in the eye of the shock tube for the fastening bolts.
*** This ensures a stable, backlash-free seating of the clamping screw, even under the highest loads.
=> Separating piston design. This allows the damping fluids oil and nitrogen to act separately.
*** This results in a good reaction of the damping tube.
*** High and precise damping performance, even at very high damping frequencies (poor road or track conditions).
*** Improved cooling of the shock absorber tube.
*** Minimal restrictions on the mounting position of the shock absorber tube on the motorcycle.
=> Extreme model: Shock absorber tube length adjustment by 8 mm (- 2 mm / + 6 mm).
*** This allows a basic adaptation of the motorcycle balance and
*** the motorcycle can be adapted to special modifications or extreme adjustment.
=> "Extreme" hydraulic spring initial tension by means of an easily accessible knob.
=> The shock absorber settings have been developed according to the experiences and requirements of Touratech.
*** Based on the experiences and many kilometers of travel of the Touratech Race-Team.
=> "Extreme" pressure level damping setting can always be adjusted separately in High Speed and Low Speed.
*** This allows very individual adjustment of the pressure level and traction. Ideal adaptation to changing requirements.
=> Separate "Extreme" compensating reservoir in the shock absorber unit of the shock absorber tube.
*** Provides better cooling of the damping during the ride.
*** This results in higher load capacity and a longer service life of the shock absorber tube.
=> QR barcode on the shock tube with individualized shock tube information.
*** This provides easy access to shock tube-specific information when scanning with the smartphone.
*** Information on the basic settings of the shock tube accessible at any time. Reset option in the event of an incorrect setting.



In case you have mounted a larger tank on your motorcycle than the original one or have made modifications to
additional luggage bags, adaptations can be made. We adapt the shock absorber tube
by means of a spring with a higher damping ratio individually to your requirements. Please use our suspension test form and send it back to us after completion.

If you have any further questions, we will be happy to advise you personally.
