Touratech Suspension shock absorber tube *front* for BMW R1200GS 2004-2012 type *Extreme*

This Extreme shock tube is an absolute premium class in suspension technology . Even for the most extreme requirements . The PDS, a hydraulic breakage protection by means of a second damping piston, is installed here. Even in the toughest track situations with full luggage, no punctures occur, mechanical overload of the shock absorber tube is prevented. The damping is road-dependent. During most riding functions, the shock tube is adjusted comfortably and with little effort before the PDS intervenes in the last part of the shock tube stroke. However, the main advantages of the Telelever-Systems are supported by the precise reaction of this damper tube Touratech. The High and Low Speed damping adjustment allows you to influence with maximum precision to implement your riding comfort requirements.


The main features in a nutshell:
=> The damper tube has been configured for the front of the BMW R1200GS based on our experience and is set ready to ride.
=> The parameters are: vehicle weight / damper tube articulation / constructional peculiarities / test rides.
=> The damper tube named here has been designed for almost every possible load condition of the front of the motorcycle.
=> A higher damping ratio only makes sense in case of a significantly higher weight at the front (adaptations/modifications).
=> In all suspension solutions the rear and the front of the motorcycle should be adjusted.
=> Possible components for the rear of the BMW R1200GS are:
=> Suspension shock absorber tube Touratech *rear* for BMW R1200GS 2004-2012 type *Extreme* 01-044-5870-0
=> Replacing only one component does not result in optimal riding behavior.

INFO: Do not fit together with steering dampers *CSC* 01-044-5858-0



Characteristics of the front shock tube of the Touratech Suspension Extreme:
=> The housing of the shock tube is made of aluminum.
*** This keeps the weight as low as possible.
=> Special seals with low friction are mounted.
*** This reduces wear and extends the service life of the shock absorber tube.
=> Steel bushings are mounted in the eye of the shock absorber tube for the retaining bolts.
*** This results in a stable and 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 were developed according to the experiences and requirements of Touratech.
=> Based on the experiences and many kilometers of the Touratech Race-Teams.
=> "Extreme" pressure level damping settings can always be adjusted separately in High Speed and Low Speed
*** This allows very individual adjustment of the pressure level and traction. Ideal adaptation to changing requirements.
=> Separate "Extreme" compensation reservoir in the damping unit of the shock absorber tube.
*** Provides better cooling of the damping during operation.
*** This results in higher load capacity and longer service life of the shock absorber tube.
=> Separating piston construction: Oil and nitrogen - the damping fluids - can act separately.
*** Provides good reaction of the shock absorber tube.
*** High and precise damping performance, even at very high damping frequencies (bad roads or tracks).
*** Improved shock tube cooling.
*** Minimal restrictions on the mounting position of the shock absorber tube on the motorcycle.
=> "Extreme" PDS mounted, a hydraulic protection against breakage by a second
*** damping piston. Even in the most extreme track situations with full luggage no
*** punctures occur, a mechanical overload of the shock tube is prevented.
=> This shock tube can also be mounted on the front of the BMW R1200GS due to its reduced mounting space.
=> 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 settings of the shock tube always accessible. Reset possibility 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 happy to advise you personally.
