Touratech Suspension shock absorber tube for Suzuki DL 650 2004-2011 type Level2/ExploreHP

The level 2 shock tube is the best choice when the Suzuki V-Strom DL 650 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.


The main features in brief:
=> The shock tube has been configured for the Suzuki V-Strom DL 650 based on our experience and is set up 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.
=> All suspension solutions should be adjusted at the front and rear of the motorcycle.
Replacing only one component does not result in optimal riding behavior.



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 housing of the shock tube is made of aluminum. This reduces the weight to a minimum.
=> Special seals with low friction are mounted. This reduces wear and tear and extends the service life of the shock absorber tube.
=> Steel bushings for the clamping bolts are mounted in the eye of the shock absorber tube.
=> This ensures 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.
=> The shock absorber settings were developed according to the experiences and requirements of Touratech.
=> The experiences and many kilometers of travel of the Touratech Race-Team were taken as a basis.
=> 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 (bad roads or tracks).
=> Better cooling of the shock absorber tube. Minimal restrictions on the mounting position of the shock tube on the motorcycle.
=> Highend hydraulic spring initial tension via an easily accessible knob.
=> QR barcode on the shock tube with individual 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.
