Rear shock absorber tube Touratech "Extreme" for BMW R1200GS ADV (2006-2013)

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 ADV 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. 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 via 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 shock tube has been configured for the BMW R1200GS ADV based on our experience and is adjusted ready to ride.

✓ The parameters are: vehicle weight / shock tube articulation / constructional peculiarities / test rides.

✓ The shock absorber tube named here is designed for a driver up to 100 kg including luggage.

✓S hock 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.

✓ In all suspension solutions the rear and front area of the motorcycle should be adjusted.

✓ The suitable component for the front of the BMW R1200GS ADV is:

✓ Replacing only one component does not result in optimum ride behavior.

Features of the Extreme suspension shock tube Touratech:
✓ The shock tube housing is made of aluminum. This keeps the weight to a minimum.

✓ All elements and components have been designed for intensive use with heavy touring motorcycles.

✓S pecial seals with low friction have been mounted. Thus, very low wear and long service life of the shock absorber tube.

✓S teel bushings for the fastening screws are mounted in the eye of the shock absorber tube.

✓ This results in a stable and backlash-free seating of the clamping screw also for the highest loads.

✓Separating pistondesign. Thus the damping fluids oil and nitrogen can act separately.

✓ Good reaction of the damping tube.

✓ High and precise damping performance, even at very high damping frequencies (bad roads or tracks).

✓ Improved cooling of the damper tube.

✓ Minimal restrictions on the mounting position of the shock tube on the motorcycle.

✓ Extreme model: Shock absorber tube length adjustment by 8 mm (- 2 mm / + 6 mm). Thus a basic adaptation of the motorcycle balance is possible and
the motorcycle can be adapted to special modifications or extreme adjustment.

✓ "Extreme" hydraulic spring initial tension by means of a very easily accessible thumbwheel.

✓S hock absorber settings have been developed according to the experiences and requirements of Touratech. The experiences and the many kilometers of travel of the Touratech Race-Team have been taken as a basis.

✓ "Extreme" pressure level damping setting always separately adjustable in High Speed and Low Speed. Thus, highly individual adjustment of the pressure and traction level. Ideal adaptation to varying requirements.

separate "Extreme" compensating reservoir in the damping unit of the shock absorber tube. Provides better cooling of the damping during the ride. Thus higher load capacity and longer service life of the shock absorber tube.

✓ Information on the basic configuration of the buffer tube accessible at any time. Possibility to reset in case of a wrong setting.



In case you have mounted a larger tank on your motorcycle than the original one or have made modifications for
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.
