Touratech Suspension rear shock absorber for BMW R1250GS Type Extreme2 Plug & Travel / DDA
Extreme2 Plug & Travel for maximum performance in any terrain
Whether on a serpentine road in the Pyrenees, in tough off-road terrain
on your ACT trip or on your Sunday coffee ride, the successor to the
popular Extreme shock has exceeded all our expectations in terms of
performance and comfort.
When developing the new Extreme2 shock,
our main focus was on consistent friction reduction. Thanks to the
resulting efficiency and precision, we are now even better able to
master the balancing act between road and extreme off-road use. Just as
it should be for real adventure motorcycles. Furthermore, the reduced
friction also has an extremely positive effect on wear, so that your
shock absorber retains its performance after years of extreme use.
The
extreme reduction in friction has been achieved, among other things, by
the special “low friction” piston bands, which significantly improve
the sliding behavior of the new 46 mm pistons. This significantly
refines the response behavior of the Extreme2 dampers.
Especially
for the Extreme2 Plug & Travel suspension of the BMW R1250GS and
R1250GS Adventure, we have developed a newly designed electronic spring
preload in a space-saving design. This now enables uncomplicated
installation without the need to attach the EPA pump externally.
Our
advanced travel-dependent damping system (PDS) has a newly designed
hydraulic stop that works even more precisely and prevents bottoming out
even in the toughest off-road conditions.
Many suspensions have
the problem that the damper oil heats up excessively when the
suspension strut is subjected to constant hard use. The resulting change
in viscosity drastically reduces damper performance. If temperatures
rise, wear also increases exponentially, which can lead to irreparable
failure of the entire component.
To avoid this, the Extreme2 damper
has a new reservoir design with more oil volume and better heat
dissipation. This means that we can categorically rule out even the
smallest drops in performance.
The new damper is rounded off
with an extended compression adjustment range of 30 clicks at low and
high speed. This allows the damping to be adjusted even more precisely
to all requirements.
In addition, the Extreme2 shock absorber has all the features of the Extreme1 shock absorber.
The
basic setup installed here is designed for riders up to 100 kg plus
luggage. Adjustments are possible for much higher payloads or other
unusual requirements. We will then adapt the shock absorber to your
individual requirements.
