Adjustable shock BMW R1200GS Adventure (2006 – 2010) eX-CITE + EPA – Rear

This shock absorber uses a damping shim stack specifically developed for its application. The aluminum shock absorber housing creates maximum thermal stability by optimal heat removal. Not only leads this to stable performance but also to a longer lifetime of the shock and its oil. To create the best performance for every model we use high flow pistons, low friction seals, and dedicated shimstacks. We use heavy duty components like microfinished induction hardened quenched&tempered 42CrMo 16mm piston rods, best quality bearings and stainless steel bushings. Every shock can be opened and serviced, or tuned for the customer’s application. For all shocks there is a range of springs from softer than standard till harder.

This shock absorber fits plug and play into the motorbike with the original connector. This ensures that the original controls on the handlebar remain operational. There is no need for a cancelation kit or any other modification to the motorbike or its wiring harness. The shock absorber contains a very robust stepper motor actuator. Contrary to the orignal electronic shock absorber, the stepper motor is well protected inside the shock absorber and there are no issues with water ingress.

This shock has a mixture of nitrogen and oil inside. It has less internal friction than a shock with seperation pistons, but also has a damping that is relatively less stable. These characteristics make this shock a very good and “value for money” option when driving on tarmac roads.

This shock absorber comes with a new electric preload adjuster with increased robustness and adjustment range.
