Touratech Suspension shock absorber tube for BMW F650GS from 2009 onwards type level2/ExploreHP

The level 2 shock tube is the best choice when the BMW F650GS is to be used for long rides and trips. This shock tube model offers a large adjustment range and large reserves for the demands of motorcycle touring. The split-plunger construction, hydraulic spring initial tension and fine-tuning damping allow your motorcycle to be adapted to load states more precisely than with the motorcycle manufacturer's standard components. The balance of the motorcycle can be quickly and easily re-established with the caster by means of the hydraulic initial spring tension. The damping adjustment of this Level 2 shock absorber tube allows you to influence the level of traction and pressure as necessary in order to apply your personal riding comfort requirements to the shock absorber tube.

A shock tube that allows you to adapt easily and comfortably to the different loads on your motorcycle.

Characteristics of the shock tube of the Touratech Suspension Level 2:
=> The shock tube housing is made of aluminum.
*** This keeps weight to a minimum.
=> Special seals with low friction are installed.
*** This reduces wear and tear and extends the service life of the shock absorber tube.
=> Steel bushings are installed in the eye of the shock absorber tube for the retaining bolts.
*** This ensures a stable and 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.
=> The shock absorber settings were developed according to the experiences and requirements of Touratech.
*** Based on the experiences and many touring kilometers of the Touratech Race-Team.
=> Separating piston construction. Thus oil and nitrogen - the damping fluids - can act separately.
*** Good reaction of the damping tube.
*** High and precise damping performance, even at very high damping frequencies (roads or tracks in poor condition).
*** Improved shock tube cooling.
*** Minimal restrictions on the mounting position of the shock absorber tube on the motorcycle.
=> Highend hydraulic spring initial tension via an easily accessible knob.
=> QR barcode on the shock absorber tube with individual shock absorber tube information.
*** This provides easy access to shock absorber tube-specific information when scanning with the smartphone.
*** Information on the basic setting of the shock absorber tube is always accessible. Reset option in the event of an incorrect setting.



If 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.
