Suspension shock absorber tube Touratech for HONDA XL1000V VARADERO 1999 to 2002 model Level1

This shock tube is the right choice for normal trips with the HONDA XL1000V VARADERO. This shock tube model offers a large adjustment range and large reserves for the demands of motorcycle touring. The split-plunger construction and fine-tuned damping allow for more precise balancing and tuning than with the motorcycle manufacturer's stock components. To adapt to the load, the spring pre-tension can be adjusted to the size of the luggage with the adjustment tool. Adjusting the damping of this Level1 shock absorber tube allows you to influence the level of traction and pressure as necessary in order to be able to apply your personal riding comfort requirements to the shock absorber tube.


The main features in a nutshell:
=> The shock tube has been configured for the HONDA XL1000V VARADERO based on our experience and is set ready to ride.
=> The parameters are: vehicle weight / shock tube articulation / construction features / test rides.
=> The shock tube named here has been designed for a rider up to 100kg including luggage.
=> In all suspension solutions the rear and front area of the motorcycle should be adjusted.

Properties of the suspension damper tube Touratech Level1:
+ The damper tube housing is made of aluminum.
=> This keeps the weight as low as possible.
+ Special seals with low friction are mounted.
=> This results in very low wear and long service life of the shock absorber tube.
+ Steel bushings for the clamping bolts are mounted in the eye of the shock absorber tube.
=> This results in a stable, backlash-free seating of the clamping bolt even under the highest loads.
+ All elements and components are designed for intensive use with heavy touring motorcycles.
+ Shock absorber settings have been developed according to the experiences and requirements of Touratech.
=> The experiences and many kilometers of travel of the Touratech Race-Team have been taken as a basis.
+ Separating piston construction. Thus oil and nitrogen damping fluids can act separately.
=> Good reaction of the shock absorber tube.
=> High and precise damping performance, even at very high damping frequencies (bad roads or tracks).
=> Better cooling of the shock absorber tube.
=> Minimal restrictions on the mounting position of the shock absorber tube on the motorcycle.
+ 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 setting of the shock tube always accessible. Reset option in case 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 pleased to advise you personally.
