Under the ‘Limited Edition’ label, Touratech Suspension presents the perfect gear for rallies and round the world trips with the BMW R 1250 GS and the Adventure models. The ultra-robust monoshocks can replace conventional suspension elements and, thanks to the Cancellation Plug, also electronic DDA suspension systems. The advantages of semi-active suspensions are well known. Thanks to their electronic valve, these components can adapt their damping to the surface almost in real time and thus enable ultra-fine response behaviour with large reserves at the same time.
In tough off-road use, however, more direct feedback is often required to enable a sporty, active riding style. In addition, the adjustment options via the choice of riding modes set limits when creating customised setups. Touratech Suspension now offers the ‘Limited Edition’ suspension parts for riders who want to take their BMW R 1250 GS or GSA into really tough terrain or master the most demanding dirt tracks on long-distance travels.
State-of-the-art technologies for a new level of riding experience
The high-end shocks are based on the advanced technology of the recently launched Extreme 2 series. The new electronic spring preload in a compact design enables quick and easy installation without the need for an external EPA pump.
The 46 millimetre strong damper piston, which is now equipped with a ‘low friction’ piston band, offers minimal friction. The separating piston of the damper also has an additional guide, which supports low-friction sliding. All in all, these innovative technical solutions result in a previously unrivalled sensitive responsiveness.
Advanced PDS function for maximum resistance
The ‘Limited Edition’ suspension struts also set themselves apart from conventional products in terms of safety at extreme conditions thanks to their superior technology. The enhanced PDS function has a newly designed hydraulic stop that works even more precisely and reliably prevents bottoming out. The two-part reservoir has also been enlarged and therefore offers more oil volume and an optimised cooling surface for effective heat dissipation. The result is constant damping performance right up to the extreme range.
Precise adjustment over a wide range
The ‘Limited Edition’ suspension parts offer the full spectrum of customised adjustment options. While the rebound damping is adjusted in the tried-and-tested manner at the base of the shock absorber, the optimised compression adjustment at the reservoir offers an extremely wide adjustment range, which enables precise and reproducible individual set-ups. Adjustment for the low and high-speed range is particularly easy thanks to adjusters in different colours.
Conventional or DDA: Seamless integration into the vehicle
Cancellation plugs are included in the tuning package for vehicles with electronic DDA suspension. These fit perfectly on the existing plugs and avoid error messages in the dashboard.
Serviceable long-life components
Like all shock absorbers from Touratech Suspension, the new ‘Limited Edition’ parts are of course fully serviceable. From time to time or after intensive use on long-distance travel, the shock absorbers can be dismantled and overhauled. Then they are as good as new again. For consistent performance and long-lasting riding pleasure, even under extreme conditions.
