Suspension shock tube Touratech for Suzuki V-Strom 650/XT 2012-2016 model Level1

This shock tube is the right choice for normal touring with the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT. 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. The damping setting of this Level1 shock absorber tube allows you to influence the traction and pressure level as necessary to be able to apply your personal riding comfort requirements to the shock tube.

The main features in brief:
=> The shock tube has been configured for the Suzuki V-Strom 650/XT based on our experience and is set ready to ride.
=> The parameters are: vehicle weight / shock tube articulation / construction peculiarities / test rides.
=> The shock tube named here is designed for a rider up to 100kg including luggage.
=> All suspension solutions should be adjusted at the front and rear of the motorcycle.
=> Replacing only one component does not result in optimum riding behavior.



The equipment installed here with its adjustment possibilities is sufficient if the suspension has to adapt to different load conditions only in exceptional cases.

Properties of the suspension shock absorber tube Touratech Level1:
=> The shock absorber tube housing is made of aluminum.
=> This keeps the weight to a minimum. 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 screws are mounted in the eye of the shock absorber tube.
=> This results in a stable, backlash-free seating of the clamping screw 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.
=> The experiences and many kilometers of the Touratech Race-Team were 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).
=> Improved cooling of the shock absorber tube.
=> Minimal restrictions in 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 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 pleased to advise you personally.
