Suspension shock absorber tube Touratech for KTM 990 Adventure TR from 2009 model Extreme

The suspension shock tube Touratech Extreme is an absolute premium class in terms of suspension technology. This Extreme shock absorber tube for the KTM 990 Adventure R has been perfectly developed for use on the road and on the road, with frequently varying load and ride conditions or for the most extreme demands. The Extreme shock absorber tube is equipped with PDS, a hydraulic breakage protection by means of a second shock absorber piston. Even in the most extreme track situations with full luggage, no punctures occur and a 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.


For you this means: Any volume of luggage, from the rear bag to a loaded luggage system and/or the passenger function, is captured by the Extreme adjustment range. You can re-establish the balance of the motorcycle easily and quickly by means of a thumbwheel through the hydraulic spring initial tension. The very fine-tuned damping in the compensating reservoir allows efficient, precise and riding style-adapted suspension tuning at any time for any road conditions and purpose, no matter whether freeways, dual carriageways, country roads, small country roads, off-road sections, long-distance trips with large luggage or a fast and ambitious riding style.

The main features in a nutshell:
=> The shock tube has been configured for the KTM 990 Adventure R based on our experience and is set up ready to ride.
=> The parameters are: vehicle weight / shock tube articulation / constructional peculiarities / test rides.
=> The shock tube named here has been designed for a rider weighing up to 100 kg including luggage.
=> All suspension solutions should be adjusted at the front and rear of the motorcycle.
=> The suitable component for the front of the KTM 990 Adventure from 2007 onwards is:
=> Progressive fork springs, KTM 990 Adventure R Art.01-370-5838-0
=> Replacing only one component does not result in optimal riding behavior.



Characteristics of the Extreme suspension shock tube Touratech:
=> The shock tube housing is made of aluminum.
*** This keeps weight to a minimum.
=> All elements and components are designed for intensive use with heavy touring motorcycles.
=> Special seals with low friction are mounted.
*** This results in very low wear and long service life of the shock absorber tube.
=> Steel bushings are mounted in the eye of the shock absorber tube for the retaining bolts.
*** This ensures a stable and backlash-free seating of the clamping screw even under the highest loads.
=> Separating piston design. This allows the damping fluids oil and nitrogen to act separately.
*** This results in a good reaction of the damping tube.
*** High and precise damping performance, even at very high damping frequencies (poor road or track conditions).
*** Improved cooling of the shock absorber tube.
*** Minimum restrictions on the mounting position of the shock absorber tube on the motorcycle.
=> "Extreme" hydraulic spring initial tension by means of an easily accessible knob.
=> Shock absorber settings have been developed according to the experiences and requirements of Touratech.
*** Based on the experiences and many kilometers of travel of the Touratech Race-Team.
=> "Extreme" pressure level damping setting 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 shock absorber group of the shock absorber tube.
*** Provides better cooling of the damping during the ride.
*** This results in a higher load capacity and a longer service life of the shock absorber tube.
=> QR barcode on the shock tube with individualized shock tube information.
*** This provides easy access to shock tube-specific information when scanning with a smartphone.
*** Information on the basic settings of the shock tube accessible at any time. Reset option in the event 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.
