TECHNOLOGY | TOURATECH SUSPENSION - MORE SPRING STROKE FOR BMW F 900 GS
MORE SPRING STROKE FOR BMW F 900 GS - SIZE MATTERS
The new Extreme2 suspension kit for the BMW F 900 GS provides a full 20 millimetres more suspension travel and a noticeable increase in ground clearance.
Significantly lighter, super-slim and easy to handle, the F 900 GS issues an irresistible invitation to a brisk off-road ride from the very first contact. Thanks to the 21-inch front wheel and solid spring stroke at the front and rear, the GS does a decent job away from tarmac roads.
Conceived as a compromise solution for an extremely wide range of applications and designed for a wide variety of riders, the standard material also quickly reaches its limits on the F 900. For all those who are looking for adventure with their GS - whether on a rally or an off-road trip - Touratech Suspension offers top-class suspension with the Extreme2 range of suspension elements. And now the developers have gone one step further. In response to popular demand from ambitious off-road and rally riders, the Extreme2 suspension strut is now available with 20 millimetres more spring travel. This brings numerous advantages. The increased ground clearance is obvious.
However, the longer working travel also enables optimised tuning, which offers an even smoother response with unchanged high damping qualities. To maintain the balance of the vehicle, the extended spring strut is only available as a set with a specially adapted Cartridge Kit Extreme for the fork. Like the shock absorber, the cartridge also offers the full range of adjustment options for spring preload, rebound and compression damping.
Even though Touratech is targeting off-road enthusiasts with this top-class shock absorber, it still has a general operating licence (ABE).
