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 damper tube has been configured for the front of the BMW R1200GS ADV based on our experience and is set ready to ride.
✓ The parameters are: vehicle weight / shock tube articulation / constructional peculiarities / test rides.
✓ The shock absorber tube named here has been designed for almost any possible load condition of the motorcycle front end.
✓ A higher damping ratio only makes sense in case of a noticeably higher front-end weight (adaptations/modifications).
✓ For all suspension solutions, the rear and front of the motorcycle should be adjusted.
✓ Possible components for the rear of the BMW R1200GS ADV are:
✓S uspension shock tube Touratech *rear* for BMW R1200GS ADV 2006-2012 type *Extreme* 01-044-5872-0
✓ Replacing only one component does not result in optimum riding behavior.
✓ The housing of the shock absorber tube is made of aluminum. This keeps the weight to a minimum.
✓S pecial seals with low friction are installed. This reduces wear and tear and extends the service life of the damper tube.
✓S teel bushings for the fastening screws are mounted in the eye of the buffer tube.
✓ This results in a stable and backlash-free seating of the clamping screw also for higher 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 travel of the Touratech Race-Teams have been taken as a basis.
✓ "Extreme" pressure level damping setting always separately adjustable in High Speed and Low Speed. With this, highly individual adjustment of pressure level and traction. Ideal adaptation to varying requirements.
separate "Extreme" compensating reservoir in the damping unit of the shock absorber tube. Provides better cooling of the damping during the ride. Thus higher load capacity and longer service life of the shock absorber tube.
✓S eparating piston construction: This allows oil and nitrogen - the damping fluids - to act separately.
✓ Achieve a good reaction of the buffer tube.
✓ High and precise damping performance, even at very high damping frequencies (bad roads or tracks).
✓ Improved cooling of the damper tube. Minimal restrictions on the mounting position of the shock tube on the motorcycle.
✓ Extreme" PDS mounted, a hydraulic protection against breakage by means of a second shock absorber plunger. Even in the most extreme track situations with full luggage no punctures occur, a mechanical overload of the shock absorber tube is prevented.
✓ This shock tube can also be mounted on the front of the BMW R1200GS ADV due to its reduced mounting space.
✓QRcodeon the shock absorber tube with individualized shock absorber tube information. This provides easy access to shock tube-specific information by scanning it with the smartphone.
✓ Information on the basic configuration of the buffer tube always accessible. Possibility to reset 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. To do this, please use our suspension test form and send it back to us once you have completed it.
If you have any further questions, we will be pleased to advise you personally.
