Touratech Suspension shock absorber tube for Suzuki V-Strom 650/XT 2012-2016 Type Level2

The level 2 shock tube is the best choice when the Suzuki V-Strom 650/XT 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 setting of this level 2 shock absorber tube allows you to influence the traction and pressure level as much as necessary to meet your personal riding comfort requirements for 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 up ready to ride.
=> The parameters are: vehicle weight / shock tube articulation / design features / test rides.
=> The shock tube named here is designed for a rider up to 100kg including luggage.
=> In all suspension solutions the rear and front area of the motorcycle should be adjusted.
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 shock tube housing is made of aluminum. This keeps the 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 for the retaining bolts are installed in the eye of the shock absorber tube.
=> This ensures a stable, backlash-free seating of the retaining bolt even under the highest loads.
=> All elements and components are designed for intensive use with heavy touring motorcycles.
=> The shock absorber settings have been developed according to the experiences and requirements of Touratech.
=> The experiences and many kilometers of the Touratech Race-Team have been used as a basis.
=> Separating piston construction. Thus oil and nitrogen - the damping fluids - can act separately.
=> Good reaction of the damper tube.
=> High and precise damping performance, even at very high damping frequencies (bad roads or tracks).
=> Better cooling of the damper tube. Minimal restrictions on the mounting position of the shock tube on the motorcycle.
=> Highend hydraulic spring initial tension via 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 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.
