FOR EVERY PURPOSE THE PERFECTSUSPENSION

Touratech Suspension has significantly expanded its portfolio once again. In addition to the triedand-tested Travel and Black-T product lines, the E1 series complements the product range as athird pillar. With the E1 products, high-quality suspension elements become available at reasonable prices for an enormous range of different motorcycles. An overview
Dedicated do-it-yourselfers know this just as well as
professional customisers: Optimising the suspension isalmost always the first step when it comes to effectively
improving the performance of a motorcycle. And there areplenty of reasons for replacing suspension elements. Be it
the original parts that are worn out or the rider that wants
additional adjustment options. Very often, however, it isalso a matter of tuning the suspension of your machine toperfectly match your personal requirements. Touratech
Suspension has developed a broad portfolio of high-end

4suspension for the most diverse purposes. The Travel line,with its large reserves and multiple tuning options, is specifically designed to meet the requirements of adventure riders.
The Black-T line combines the latest suspension technology
with a classically cool look and was designed specifically foruse in Custom and New Heritage Bikes. A huge spectrum of
many hundreds of motorcycle models in all categories is covered by the new E1 line. It offers high-quality replacements
for the series elements at a fair price.

TOURATECH SUSPENSION OVERVIEWTRAVEL –PERFORMANCE FOR
ADVENTURE RIDERS
Touratech has developed more expertise in adventure travel
over the past three decades than any other company. This
wealth of experience has been incorporated into the development of the Travel product line.
The basic construction of the Travel suspension components
is particularly robust. For example, the piston rods and allseals are larger in size than is usual in large-scale production
or other high-quality retrofit products. The suspension components also provide an unusually wide range of adjustment
so that they can be finely tuned to the rider‘s intended use.
Springs with different degrees of hardness can be installed
depending on the rider‘s weight and the load. In addition,
the Touratech Suspension technicians have developed specific setups for each intended use, enabling perfect interaction between suspension and damping.
In the Travel segment, the four product lines Level 1 | Explore, Level 2 | Explore HP, High End | Expedition and Extreme
are available for numerous motorcycle models. Their design
covers the entire range of adventure travel.

CLOSED-CARTRIDGE
INSERTS FOR THE FORKThe shock absorber is not the only part that can be tuned
to the highest demands with components from Touratech
Suspension. The Cartridge Kit Extreme was developed foradventure bike riders who want an extremely responsive
and durable fork that is proof against bottoming out. This kit
consists of a closed cartridge insert with which the original
internal parts of the fork can easily be replaced.

6

The closed cartridge principle was developed for the forks of sports motorcycles, which often operate under extremeloads. With this technology, the damper
oil is housed in a closed cartridge. Thismeans that the amount of oil can be precisely dosed and that much less damper
oil is required; this enables a much finer
response. The oil in the fork tubes serves
only as a lubricant.

PLUG & TRAVEL:
ESA AND DDA
Touratech Suspension DDA/
Plug & Travel shock absorberWith the Cartridge Kit Extreme, the performance of the fork remains constanteven at very high damping frequencies
on rough track sections. The hydraulicend stop also protects the fork from bottoming out.
The kit is supplied with a motorcyclespecific setup. On the basis of this, spring
preload, compression and rebound damping can be adjusted by riders to exactly
meet their requirements. For installation,neither triple clamp, handlebar mount,brakes nor fork tubes need to be modified.
Just like all other suspension systems
from Touratech Suspension, the Cartridge
Kit Extreme is also completely serviceenabled. The Cartridge Kit Extreme isalready available for a large number ofadventure bikes.

REPLACEMENT SPRINGSFOR FORK AND SHOCK
While the combination of Cartridge Kit
Extreme and a Touratech Suspension
shock absorber is the best possible solution, there are also effective solutions forcustomers with a smaller budget whenit comes to optimising the suspension in
the wide Touratech range.
A huge improvement in suspension
characteristics can be achieved simply by
replacing the springs of forks and shock
absorbers with progressive versions.

BMW effectively introduced
the ESA (Electronic Suspension
Adjustment) system as a forerunner of an electronic suspension. With ESA, the damping canbe adjusted in a few moments at thetouch of a button. The spring preload
is still adjusted in the conventional
way with a hand wheel.
Touratech Suspension offers suspension components as replacements
for worn ESA components or as
modifications for demanding use. They
provide all the functions of the original parts, but meet the high Touratech quality standards as well. This gives the customer a ready-to-installsolution with a pre-configured setup that uses all the standard switches
and connectors, but is far superior to the original in terms of response
and load capacity.

7

The semi-active DDA elements from Touratech Suspension can also beeasily used to replace the standard equipment, thanks to the „Plug & Travel“
principle. These dampers replace the original parts in the BMW R 1200 GS,
R 1250 GS, F 800 GS, F 850 GS and in the corresponding Adventure models
equipped with electronic ESA or DDA suspension. These premium suspension components also combine high-quality Touratech technology, such as
the patented electronic damper valve and additional adjustment options, alldesigned to be fully compatible with the vehicle‘s electronics.

BLACK-T: HIGH-END SHOCKSFOR CUSTOM BIKES

stom Creations.
The product range covers Youngtimers, such as the popular
two-valve BMW up to the /5 and /7 models, as well as no lessthan 210 Harley models from the 1970s to the present time.
The Modern Classics from Triumph are provided with firstclass Black-T suspension products, as are the trendy Scramblers from Ducati. Even the Mega Boxer BMW R18 benefits
from the superior technology of the Black-T components.
And what is hardly surprising in view of these casually styled
parts: more and more professional tuners are discovering
Black-T as the perfect suspension solution for their conversions. For example, custom icon Markus Walz consistently
equips the casual BMW concept bikes of the Schizzo series
with components from Niedereschach. 

More than 30 years of experience with motorcycles on
expeditions, at international rallies such as the legendary
Dakar and Extreme Adventure Bike competitions have gone
into the development of the “Travel” series.
The separating piston design, which prevents the mixingof damper oil and nitrogen, is the prerequisite for a fineresponse of the shock absorber.
Thanks to an extra-thick chrome molybdenum steel piston
rod with a diameter of 16 millimetres, Travel series sus-

High-quality stainless steel spacer andrebound damping adjustment at the shock

To ensure consistently high performance over many years,
the suspension components from Touratech Suspension are
fully service-enabled. During regular checks at the Service
Center, the nitrogen and oil are renewed and all components carefully checked. If, despite the robust construction,
a component should ever become worn, it can be easily
replaced.
Customers receive individually configured Travel suspension
components based on a detailed suspension check. The
spring hardness is specially adjusted to their weight andthe intended use. Should conditions change, a spring of theappropriate hardness can be requested.

FOUR VERSIONS: LEVEL 1 TO EXTREME
Travel suspensions from Touratech Suspension are available in four different versions: Level 1, Level 2, High End andExtreme.
From Level 2 onwards, in addition to the basic features
mentioned, Travel shock absorbers have a hydraulic spring
preload with 50 percent more adjustment range to allow
the balance of the vehicle to be adapted to particularly highadditional loads.
From the High End version onwards, all shock absorbers
from Touratech Suspension also have separately adjustable

14high and low speed damping for precise adjustments atvery high damping frequencies and high loads (poor roads /tracks with luggage). In addition, there is an piggyback reservoir that provides better cooling of the damper oil during
heavy use.
In addition to the above features, Extreme shock absorbers
are equipped with a PDS. The abbreviation stands for Progressive Damping System and describes a path-dependent
damper piston that functions as a hydraulic bottoming out
protection. SUSPENSION GLOSSARY
Balance Distribution of weight between front and rear
wheel. Setting via adjustment of thesag.
Closed cartridge Design principle for front forks. The structure is similar to that of the shock absorber. The suspension
is still provided by the fork springs, the damping takes place
in a closed system - the cartridge. Damper oil and nitrogencushion are separated by a piston. Advantages: finer response, extensive adjustment possibilities, high resistanceagainst bottoming out .
Damper, emulsion Simplest form of shock absorber. Oiland nitrogen are not separated and form an emulsion. Advantages: Simple in design, slim form.
Damper, separating piston Damper oil and nitrogenare separated by a piston, which prevents foaming underhigh loads. Advantages: Constant performance even under
extreme loads.
Damping, compression Damping of the compression
movement. The flow resistance of oil forced through holes
or valves slows down the axial movement of the suspension
component. Adjustment only of shock absorbers with piggyback reservoirs.
Damping, rebound damping Damping of the reboundmovement. The flow resistance of oil forced through holes
or valves slows down the axial movement of the suspension
component. Adjustment of all shock absorbers from Touratech Suspension.
DDA Dynamic Damping Adaptation. Sensor-controlled
adjustment of the damping characteristics for electronicsuspensions, determined by the road condition in real time.
ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment. Setting of thedamping characteristics of shock absorbers by electric remote control on BMW motorbikes
High Speed / Low Speed Adjustment possibilities ofthecompression damping for differing spring compression
speeds, such as those caused by short hard hits versus longdrawn-out undulations.
Mono Shock Single shock absorber. Usually installed centrally in the machine near the swing arm bearing. Often withlinkage via a progressive lever system. Lateral mounting,similar totwin shocks also possible.
PDS Progressive Damping System. With appropriately
equipped shock absorbers, two shock absorber pistonsconnected in series provide compression damping that increases with the compression stroke. While the first piston
still produces relatively weak damping, the second piston,which is actuated when a certain point of the maximum
travel is reached, produces stronger damping. Advantages:
The shock absorber can respond gently, but it is protectedagainst bottoming out.
Piggyback reservoir External reservoir for additional
damper oil. The larger quantity of oil increases stability under high constant load.
Plug & Travel Describes the easy installation of electronicsuspension systems from Touratech Suspension, using all
the original plugs and switches.
Progressive spring Spring with progressivespring rate.
The spring force increases with progressive spring compression. Advantages: The suspension component responds
gently, but has reserves to prevent bottoming out under
extreme loads.
Sag Relative position of the spring to the vehicle. Determines the negative spring travel the balance of thevehicle.
Semi-active suspension Suspension whose shock absorbers adjust their damping characteristics in real time to theprevailing road conditions DDA. Sensors measure the axial
acceleration in the damper and control an electronic valvethat regulates the flow of the damper oil. Valve wide open:
soft damping, valve more closed: hard damping.
Spring characteristic Describes the amount of spring force
in relation to the spring travel. Linear: Spring force remains
the same over the entire spring travel. Progressive: Springforce increases with increasing compression.
Spring preload Through adjusting thesag, the springis compressed or released. Vehicle is raised or lowered as aresult Balance.
Spring rate (= spring hardness) Describes the force required
to compress a spring by a certain amount.
Spring travel, negative Spring travel that is “used up” by
the deflection of the machine under its own weight (plusload).

PLUG & TRAVEL EVO
THE SUSPENSION (R)EVOLUTION

In 2013, Touratech launched the Plug & Travel suspension system as a high-quality replacement for the electronic suspension elements on the Boxer-GS. The experience gained frommillions of kilometres ridden has now been incorporated into the completely redesigned
high-end Plug & Travel EVO series, which comes up with some revolutionary technical innovations.
The joy of innovation and the pursuit of perfection are
in Touratech's DNA. Resting on one's laurels is therefore
not an option for its busy developers. No wonder that, afteralmost 10 years, the question of a successor system for the
Plug & Travel electronic suspension system, which has been
tried and tested thousands of times, also arose with regard
to the Boxer-GS.
"Touratech Suspension's service staff have meticulously
documented customer feedback over the years, providing abroad database based on millions of kilometres ridden," says
Jo Glaser, Product Manager at Touratech Suspension. "Ourdevelopment team has unearthed this wealth of data andidentified the potential for further development."
Conceptually, the Plug & Travel EVO electronic suspension
system, like its predecessor, is tailored precisely to the requirements of adventure riders who demand a finely responsive
suspension system with large reserves for trips with a highpayload also on unpaved roads. Technically, however, Generation EVO is a completely new design.

STRONG PARTNERS FOR A
PERFECT PRODUCT
Equipped with almost a decade of experience in the development and distribution of high-end electronic suspension systems as well as the feedback from millions of kilometres ridden, Touratech has teamed up with two technology
companies, leaders in their respective segments, to develop
the Plug & Travel EVO. "We were faced with the challenging
task of redesigning an excellently functioning electronicsuspension system while retaining its proven strengths andopening up new benefits for our customers," explains Glaser,
an experienced Africa traveller and Touratech veteran, who
has been product manager for Touratech Suspension for ten
years.
"Eibach was our chosen partner for the development andproduction of our springs. And for good reason: the company, based in Finnentrop in the Sauerland region, has not
only made a name for itself as a supplier to the automotive
industry in its 70-year history; Eibach is also the number one
manufacturer of performance suspension systems in highend tuning.

The "inner workings" of the completely redesigned Plug & Travel
EVO rely on the most advanced
technologies.

"The electronicallycontrolled valve is theheart of every semi-active suspension element," the Product Manager
explains. "In JRZ Suspension Engineering,
we found the perfect partner for this area," Glaser continues.
"The Dutch specialists look back on almost three decadesof suspension system development for top-level racing
and have internationally unique expertise when it comes toelectronic suspension systems".
JRZ is also the partner for series production. Located in
Uden, halfway between the Ruhr and Rotterdam, this company boasts state-of-the-art machinery and quality assurance. From design to series production, JRZ combines all steps
under one roof.

ming out. The permanent adjustment of the damping also
ensures the best possible contact between wheel and road,which is essential for riding safety in extreme situations.
The electronic valve used in the new Plug & Travel EVO
suspension system line is patented worldwide. It reacts tothe electronic control with unprecedented precision. Andeven when subjected to extreme damping pressures during
tough offroad use, the flow, and therefore the damping,remains absolutely constant.

NEW HYPER FLOWDAMPER PISTON
The Hyper Flow shock absorber piston in the spring elements of the Plug & Travel EVO series has been completely
redesigned. The oil flow is optimised in such a way that foam
formation at very high damper speeds is effectively suppressed. Cavitation damage caused by collapsing oil bubbles is
now a thing of the past.

The Plug & Travel EVO semi-active suspension system
adjusts the damping in real time to the current conditionsof the ground. For this purpose, the path and speed of thecompression and extension movements are recorded by
sensors. Based on this data, the electromagnetic valve regulates the oil flow. In the case of fast, vigorous movements,
resistance is increased to firm the damping, whereas
if movements are slow, the valve opens to allow
the suspension system to respond smoothly to theground conditions.

ClosureTo ensure maximum sealing of the damper with the lowest

This guarantees the low breakaway torquerequired for sensitive response and prevents the unpleasantslip-stick (backsliding) effect.

SLIM DESIGN,MAXIMUM FUNCTIONALITY
The slimmer damper design also contributes to the sensitive
response. "We rely on a one-piece, milled bottom part for
the new Plug & Travel EVO line," Jo Glaser explains. "Compared to the two-piece constructions that are often used,
this solution not only gives us a good deal of additional
strength, but we are also able to save a lot of material thanks
to the elaborate shaping that is precisely matched to theload," the expert says. "This has allowed us to noticeably re-

duce the weight of the suspension elements, which reduces
the unsprung masses and has a positive effect on the riding
characteristics."
And the new design of the electronic shock absorbers offers
yet another fundamental advantage. Despite the smaller
dimensions, the EVO elements realise the maximum possible stroke. In other words: more spring travel than that is
not possible with the standard suspension geometry of the
BMW R 1250 GS.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
INTO YOUR VEHICLE
In line with Touratech Suspension's Plug & Travel philosophy, superior functionality is complemented by seamlessintegration into your vehicle. This means that the electronicsuspension elements from Touratech Suspension can simply
replace the standard Dynamic ESA shock absorbers on the
BMW R 1250 GS.
Installation is now even easier due to the slimmer layout.
All standard plug connections are retained and operated as
usual via the GS's standard switches. In line with this philosophy, the new EVO line does without an intermediate control

24

Before the new suspension elements went into field testing, acomprehensive test procedure wascarried out on the test bench. A test
device was specially developed forinternal durability tests. Even lateralloads were simulated with weights,
and the cooling of the damper was
carried out using a fan to replace
the airstream. To obtain the most
realistic environment possible, theelectronic valve of the damper wasconnected to a complete motorcycle
electronic system. On the test bench,
the dampers had to withstand one

and an additional 30 kilograms oflateral force.

unit and now processes the data from the central function
unit (CFU) directly. Time-consuming teaching of the electronics is therefore not necessary. In addition, the integrated
control system is able to immediately take into account all
software updates installed via the BMW service, so that no
additional suspension element update is required.

ELECTRIC PRELOAD ADJUSTERWITH MORE POWER
The electric preload adjuster for electronic adjustment of
the spring preload has also been completely redesigned.
The engineers have succeeded in achieving a higher torquefor rapid compression of the spring at a lower operatingpressure. This puts less stress on the seals, which results ineven longer durability.

COMFORTABLE
SUSPENSION SYSTEM SET-UP
The pre-setting of the compression damping on the new
PLUG & TRAVEL EVO line is intuitive, using a single element.

TOURATECH SUSPENSION PLUG & TRAVEL EVO

TOUGH
PRACTICAL TESTING
Parallel to the endurance tests on thetest benches, extensive riding tests werealso carried out. This is why ready-to-ride
pre-production samples were created at
the beginning of the development process,allowing the new Plug & Travel EVO to be
put through its paces using a wide variety ofbasic set-ups over thousands of kilometres.
Rally crack Dirk von Zitzewitz was always
present during the field tests in the toughest terrain. After months of intensive testing,Dirk came to the conclusion:"For me, the absolute best suspension for
the GS!"In addition to testing carried out on the series vehicle, pre-series
variants of the new Plug & Travel EVO were subjected to extreme
tests in the Touratech R 1250 GS Rallye.

Adjustment is carried out in 15 steps with an easy-to-use
rotary knob, equipped with an easily readable scale. This
also enables less experienced users to reliably implement
individual suspension system setups.

END STOP FOR THE TOUGHEST
APPLICATIONS
To meet the demands of the most extreme trails, the suspension elements of the Plug & Travel EVO series have aninnovative end stop made of a foam-like plastic. This material deforms progressively under pressure, so that a gentle
braking of extreme compression movement at the end of
the working stroke can be achieved.

HIGH-QUALITYUNIBALL BEARINGSThe high-quality Uniball bearings are distinguished byminimal tolerances. The surface-treated steel used for therobust and smooth-running swivel bearings also guarantees

maximum durability. The new rubber seals are particularlypressure-resistant, so that they effectively keep out dirt andwater, preventing premature wear.
The bushes for bolting them to the vehicle are made of a
special aluminium alloy, providing an additional contribution to the reduction of weight.
"With the Touratech Suspension Plug & Travel EVO, we canoffer demanding GS riders an electronic suspension systemthat retains all the advantages of the predecessor model,"Product Manager Joe Glaser says with satisfaction. "In thisnew design, however, we've taken all the experience gained
over the past ten years into account, meaning that our customers receive a product with unprecedented performance
whose advantages they will love on every trip.”25

SUSPENSION COMPONENTSCARTRIDGE KITEXTREMETHE FINER THINGS
The performance of a motorcycle
fork is drastically improved with the
Cartridge Kit Extreme. Response,
damping performance and bottoming
out resistance are raised to a whole
new level. And best of all: this kit
replaces the original interior of
the fork without the need for any
conversion measures.

MODEL LIST
on page 42

Until recently, optimisation of the standard fork was
only possible within very narrow limits. By installing
progressive fork springs and changing over to a special oil,the overall performance of the fork could be significantly improved, but adjustment possibilities for adapting to different
conditions of use were still limited by the configuration of
the standard fork.
Touratech Suspension has therefore gone the decisive
further step with the development of the “Cartridge Kit
Extreme”. This system, designed as a “closed cartridge”, combines spring and damping components in one unit and thus
replaces the complete interior of the original fork. “Strictly
speaking, this system is an shock absorber for the fork,” says
Touratech Suspension Product Manager Jo Glaser, summingup the functional principle.

26

Regardless of its original equipment, the fork receives
completely new functions through the installation of the
Cartridge Kit Extreme. The spring preload in both rods canbe pre-loaded by 20 millimetres with 12 clicks to adjust thebalance of the motorcycle to different loading conditions.
Rebound and compression damping are adjusted separately
on each fork rod. The adjustment option range extends over
20 clicks. “One absolute plus is the fine response and thedamping performance that can be reproduced at any time,even under the most extreme demands,” says suspension
expert Glaser, explaining the advantages of the unit compared to a standard fork. In addition, the “hydraulic endstop”
prevents the fork from bottoming out even over extreme
terrain.

What sounds good on paper is amazingin practice. After extensive testing, this issomething the product manager is wellable to promise. “A cartridge unit likethis can even cope with extremely highdamping frequencies, such as those that
occur on tracks with corrugated surfaces. The Touratech Suspension Closed Cartridge was specially designed by us forthe high demands of long-distance travel with large loads”,
explains Jo Glaser.
To ensure that the damping remains stable even under highloads, particularly robust components such as a 10 millimetre thick piston rod and a 35 millimetre diameter piston are

sively for lubrication. Even if a fork
oil seal should leak while travelling,
this means that the function of thefork is fully maintained.
T Cartridge Kit Extreme is delivTheered completely ready for installation with the matching spring and a
special “Touratech Setup” for eachparticular motorcycle. The setup isdesigned to be used for adventure
and touring trips. Fork rods, bridges and handlebar mounts remain
untouched during the conversion,
which is why the geometry of the
motorcycle does not change in theslightest.
“With the Cartridge Kit Extreme,
our customers acquire the perfectcounterpart to our shock absorbers.

possibilities that you know froma rear shock absorber,” Jo Glaser summarises. This meansthat conversion is the method of choice when it comes toimproving riding safety and performance, especially for

The damping oil is contained in a Closed
Cartridge and the nitrogen is in a bladder at the baseof the cartridge. This is what makes the very fine response
possible in the first place, along with the extremely highsturdiness and stability of the fork. Due to the separation ofoil and nitrogen, there is no foam in the fork, and no sign ofthe notorious stick-slip effect, as the unpleasant, stick-slip
phenomenon is called. In contrast to a standard fork, the oilin the fork rods has no damping function and is used exclu-

LOWERINGGROUNDED

With their long spring travel, Adventure Bikes
present a challenge to many a rider and evenmore to women riders. Safe ground contact
with both feet is not possible in many situations. The remedy lies in the lowering kits from
Touratech Suspension,p, which reduce the seatheight while maintaining off-road capability.

Long spring travel makes you fast - this age-old Adventure Bike wisdom still holds true today. The longer thetravel, the more sensitively the suspension components
can be designed to effectively “eliminate” uneven ground.
But for many people, an Adventure Bike- and we’re not justtalking about the tough Sports Bikes, but also the popular
Dual and Adventure Bikes - is simply too high. After all, noteveryone has the riding skills of little big Gaston Rahier, who
casually swung himself onto his Dakar Racer from the footpeg. The majority of Adventure riders want their feet to be
in contact with the ground at all times.

Even if smaller riders can balance an Adventure Bike tosome extent by standing on the tips of their toes when theystop at traffic lights, critical situations can suddenly occur
off-road, even leading to painful falls. If you are travelling
off-road with luggage, the problem is increased.

SUSPENSION COMPONENTS LOWERING

CAREFUL ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM“When customers approach us with this problem, we checkvarious options for reducing the seat height,” explains Felix
Knop, responsible for suspensions from Touratech Suspension. “The first and often most inexpensive step is a flatterseat. We have correspondingly upholstered versions in our
product range for a large variety of Adventure Bikes,” says
the expert. Only if we fail to achieve a satisfactory result withthat do we get down to the nitty-gritty, i.e. the suspension.”
This was also the case with Renata’s BMW R 1250 GS. Renate
is known to a wider public due to her motorcycle adventures alongside her husband Dieter, which the two publish
on social media under the label Duo 93 Adventure. With aheight of 164 centimetres, Renata is certainly not one of theThanks to the lowering kit from Touratech Suspension, even a lady with a height of 164 centimetres

smallest motorcyclists but, for her, safe ground contact withboth feet was hardly possible on her GS. “For our world tour,
I wanted a motorcycle that combined maximum safety withthe best performance and comfort,” Renata describes theinitial situation.
Her 1250 was factory-equipped with the BMW ESA, which
had also served her well up until then. “Even though the
ESA offers good performance and we were basically satisfied, it is still clear that a large-series suspension can only bedesigned for an “average person” and an average additionalload. Along with this wish for an individual set-up, there wasalso the wish for a reduced seat height.
With the DDA / Plug & Travel suspension lowering
set, Touratech Suspension had the perfectproduct on the shelf for this purpose. “Aswith all our suspension components, thefirst thing we do when converting tothis electronic suspension is a suspension check” explains Knop. “We use aparticular system to record impor-tant parameters such as rider weight, planned additionalload, riding style and area of use. On this basis, we select thesuspension components and tune them individually.”
Like the version with standard spring travel, the Touratech
Suspension lowering component is integrated into themotorcycle via the original BMW control unit. According to
the motto “Plug & Travel”, the existing plug connections can
simply be used. The configuration options for the various
riding modes and the additional load adjustments remain
the same.

PRECISION COMPONENTSFOR SENSITIVE RESPONSE
This electronic suspension is manufactured
with the same precision components as
the conventional parts from Touratech
Suspension, plus the patented DDA highperformance valve. This adjusts the damping to any riding situation in a fraction of asecond. The electronic suspension components are also fully service-enabled.
In the case of lowering, the shock absorbers offer an additional adjustment of the damping characteristics to achieve
optimum performance in both on-road and off-road use,
despite reduced spring travel. By installing the DDA / Plug &Travel suspension lowering set, Renata’s GS ended up with aseat height reduced by 40 millimetres in addition to a setup
specially adapted to her needs.
This adventure rider has already covered more than 20,000
kilometres with her new suspension on a wide variety of
tracks. “We rode ACT Italia - at times with full luggage load
- and completed a five-week Iceland trip, 60 to 70 per centof which was off-road on gravel roads, grit, and tracks withcorrugated surfaces. Especially under these conditions, theTouratech suspension proved to be outstanding and wewere grateful for it every day,” Renata describes her experience with the conversion so far.
Touratech regularly receives similar feedback from customers who have lowered their motorcycles. “Of course,
you lose some spring travel by lowering the bike, which
initially doesn’t seem desirable for an Adventure Bike ,” Felix
explains. “But the safety gained by having your feet on the
ground at all times easily compensates for the few centimetres of lost spring travel,” Knop continues.

These lowering kits are
manufactured using thesame high quality components as the standard
DDA Plug & Travel type.

THE MODEL-SPECIFIC
TUNING MAINTAINS THE
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITY
Touratech has developed lowering sets for a wide range ofmotorcycle models. The careful tuning of spring hardness
and damping characteristics compensates for the loss of
spring travel as far as is possible, and in return the customer
receives a motorcycle that perfectly suits their individual
stature - for safe and certain off-road fun. Touratech Suspension suspension set Plug & Travel,

SUSPENSIONWORKSHOP
ADJUSTING THE SUSPENSION
If the load on a motorcycle is increased, the balance of the vehicle changes. To maintain comfort and riding stability the suspension elements must be adjusted accordingly. The damping can also be adapted tosuit different riding conditions. We’ll show you how it’s done.

Thanks to the Touratech Set-up, the shock absorbers from
Touratech Suspension are “out of the box” for 90 percent
of ground surfaces and uses. However, it is important to adjust
the spring preload as the load increases, because a motorcycle
has a structurally desired distribution of weight between thefront and rear wheels - the “balance”.
Adjusting the vehicle balance
The weight of the motorcycle itself already compresses thesprings of the suspension. This is the static sag. It should bearound 10 percent of the total spring travel. If a rider andpillion passenger sit on the motorcycle, or luggage is loaded,
the bike sinks further into its springs. This condition is called
the rider sag or ride height. Optimally, 30 percent of the total
spring travel is “used up” with this.

To ensure that the riding characteristics change as little aspossible despite the changed load, the motorcycle must be
brought back into balance under load. To do this, raise the rearby adjusting the sag. This preloads the spring.
Adjusting the damping
The damping must also be adapted to suit changing conditions. All shock absorbers from Touratech Suspension allow
adjustment of the rebound damping. Shock absorbers fromthe High End and Extreme series also allow adjustment of
the compression damping. The “Highspeed” setting option
adjusts the compression damping for short (fast) compression
movements, such as those that occur on stony tracks. The“Lowspeed” function influences the damping during slow
compression, experienced over long bumps. To determine the values of the zero position, a fixed reference
point on the vehicle must be determined and measurement
taken of the distance between the axle and this point.

Set the reference point on the vehicle anddetermine the distance from the axle to
the reference point. Measurement 1 withunloaded suspension (e.g. motorcycle oncentre stand).

Measurement 3 under full load for thedesired area of use. Difference to measurement 2 approx. 30 % of the total spring travel. If this is not the case, adjust the spring
preload.

HOW-TO SUSPENSION WORKSHOP

The preload of the spring adjusts the balance of the motorcycle.

The rebound damping can be adjusted
on all shock absorbers from Touratech
Suspension.

The compression in the high and low speed
range can be adjusted on shock absorbers
with a piggyback reservoir.

ADJUSTING THE SPRING PRELOAD AND DAMPING Asphalt: with pillion passenger and luggage To keep the motorcycle in the right balance despite the greater
weight, the preload of the shock absorber spring must be increased until the ratio between positive and negative spring travel is reached again. The damping should be set a little firmer to prevent any annoying bouncing of
the motorcycle.
Spring preload: increase slightly at the front, more at the rear Compression damping: slightly firmer at thefront, firmer at the rear Rebound damping: slightly firmer at the front, firmer at the rear (be careful not to tighten too much, so that the shock absorber can still rebound quickly enough) O ff-road solo with luggage: The additional load has a particular effect on the rear end, so increase the preload
there. To stop the rear swinging, the damping must also be set firmer. However, if you dampen the rebounddamping too much, the shock absorber cannot rebound during a quick succession of impacts. As a result, thepositive spring travel decreases more and more.
Soft ground: Spring preload: increase slightly at the front, more at the rear Compression damping: slightly
firmer at the front, firmer at the rear Rebound damping: slightly firmer at the front, firmer at the rear (be careful
not to tighten too much, so that the shock absorber can still rebound quickly enough) Hard ground: Spring preload: slightly increased at the front, more at the rear Compression damping: slightly
softer at the front and rear Rebound damping: slightly softer at the front and rear

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE MOTORCYCLE
 Determining the total spring travel Raise the motorcycle on the centre stand or assembly stand - the suspension elements are fully extended. Measure the distance between a defined point on the motorcycle and the axle
on both wheels. A common mistake is to choose the point on the vehicle vertically above the rear axle. Since theaxle describes a circular arc movement when the swing arm is compressed, the ideal reference point is slightly infront of the vertical through the rear axle.
Static sag Stand the motorcycle on both wheels. Again, measure the distance between the defined point and theaxle. The motorcycle should compress the spring by about 10 percent of the total spring travel.
 Dynamic sag Stand the motorcycle, fully fuelled and with a typical load (e.g. with rider, pillion passenger in riding clothes, and luggage), on both wheels. Again, measure the distance between the defined point and the axle.
The motorcycle should compress the spring by about 30 percent of the total spring travel. If this value deviates
too much from the 30 percent despite pretensioning/relaxing the spring, a harder or softer spring must be fitted.
 On the BMW boxers with telelever, it is hardly ever necessary to change the preload, as different loading conditions have little effect on the front suspension component.

I love the BMW F 800 GS
and have certainly ridden

On slippery roads, the behaviour of the bike with the

when braking has completely disappeared and the enjoyment of winding roads is greater than ever. The machine’s

pure fun, tempting you to immediately turn around and ridethat stretch again. And since our aim was to test the suspensions, that’s exactly what we did.
On each pass, we reset the adjusters for rebound and compression damping to improve handling. These adjustments
can easily be made with a small tool while seated.
Back on the series machine again, I noticed how much it wasworking under me, which was extremely irritating. I gradually began to understand how much energy and attention it
was costing me to keep bringing the bike under control.
With the standard fork, you tire much more quickly and are
distracted from the actual experience, especially on long
off-road stages. In rocky or uneven terrain, the fun factor
decreases rapidly if the fork is too soft and offers no reasonable damping.
A Cartridge Kit, now available for numerous Adventure
Bikes, is without question an expensive upgrade, but there
is nothing else that produces a comparable improvement
in fork performance. In terms of functionality, it is after all
almost a new fork. Consequently, the riding characteristics
after the conversion are unrecognisable. FIELD TEST TESTIMONIALS

I used to think that an investment in suspension tuning
wasn’t necessary for average Adventure riders who, like us,
travel the world and don’t compete in motorsports. I’m very
familiar with the Triumph Tiger, and having ridden it withthe suspension from Touratech Suspension, I’m convincedthat everyone benefits from the advantages of these components. The new suspension has boosted my confidence
off-road!

FIONA’S TIGER 900 RALLY PRO

ADV TRAVEL BUG
SANDRA’S TIGER 900 RALLY PRO
After adjusting the components of the Touratech suspension on my Tiger 900 Rally Pro, I was surprised how muchthe driving characteristics improved. The motorcycle isalways stable, no matter how rough the terrain. The degreeof comfort has increased significantly and I feel safer on the
motorcycle.

Without the lowering provided by Touratech Suspension, I
wouldn’t be able to ride the Tiger 900 Rally Pro with confidence. I’ve just passed my motorcycle test, and to feel
comfortable on such a big bike, I wanted to be able to reachthe ground with my feet, which with my height (163 cm)
required more than just a lowered seat. My concern was thatthe spring travel would be very short. But these suspension
components are perfectly tuned, so that the suspension alsofunctions excellently off-road. The lowering provided by
Touratech Suspension enables me to ride a motorcycle onwhich I would otherwise not feel safe.

MARTIN LEONHARDTAs a long-term globetrotter, I really appreciate a well-tuned
suspension. The Touratech shock absorber and fork springs
have accompanied me on many adventure trips over the last
few years.
In particular the DDA variant, used in a BMW R 1200 GS (built2018), leaves absolutely nothing to be desired, deliveringsmooth comfort or direct response at the touch of a button.
Endless gravel roads, hard washboard tracks and wildly
winding stretches merge into one big pleasurable experience.
The adjustment process formy older KTM 1190 Adventure R (built 2012) and mostrecently on my Triumph
Tiger 900 (built 2021) isthe same. With regard to
the latter, I’m particularly
impressed by the clear

low to high speed differentiation. Thanks to the suspension
components from Touratech Suspension, I can adapt mypreferred hard setup perfectly to all situations. Deep potholes, boulders and unexpected changes of surface lose all
their terror as a result.

LASDOSMOTOSI was aware that we would be travelling thousands ofkilometres on dirt roads and with a full load as well. So I
replaced the factory default suspension on my 1200 with
Travel Extreme shock absorbers from Touratech Suspension.
Of particular importance to me was the option of individually and precisely adjusting the suspension elements to myweight, my riding style and my personal sense of comfort
and safety. Of course, you don’t want to readjust this after
every turn, but you don’t have to, because the basic setting
already covers a fairly broad spectrum and gives you a goodfeel for the load at all times.
I was immediately
impressed by thefine response of thesuspension components and theprecise handling.
But the fact that theshock absorbers
lasted for 100,000

HOLLISTER‘S
MOTORCYCLESFor our conversions, we rely on a mix of self-developed components and bought-in premium parts. When it comes tosuspension, we increasingly choose suspension components
from Touratech Suspension. Parts from the Black-T series not
only offer the best functionality and quality, they can also be
perfectly adapted for individual raising or lowering.
Depending on the design of the project, different basic

kilometres without a single service really surprised me.
I think that is an insane achievement and speaks for thequality of the components. And what’s almost even better
than that is that I can now simply let the shock absorbers beoverhauled and end up with a new suspension, as it were.
I would choose a suspension from Touratech Suspension
every time.

two years, they both travelled the world on their BMW
motorcycles, an F 800 GS Adventure and a R 1200 GS

configurations are used.
While the sensitive
response and the highlevel of comfort of theBlack-T Stage2 version- even with cruiser-typical short spring travel- is already impressive,the high-end versions,Stage3 or Stage4, offer
additional extensive adjustment options for the damping
characteristics. This gives riders the option of configuring an
individual suspension setup for their machine and adapting
it to their requirements.
Due to our both close and uncomplicated cooperation with
Touratech Suspension, we are provided with products thatare perfectly matched to our projects every time.
