With this retrofittable electronic damper DSA EVO UP, Touratech Suspension offers a highly effective and inexpensive upgrade for the rear shock absorber of the BMW R 1200/1250 GS with Dynamic ESA.

At Touratech, almost 350 employees work to produce the best motorcycle accessories in the world. From management to marketing, purchasing or sales, development and logistics, through to human resources, a wide range of qualifications are required. We took a look at the places where the products are actually being worked on: in the production department.

Touratech has been gaining extensive experience in the field of premium rider equipment for more than a decade. The company, based in Niedereschach, has now bundled all this know-how in the Compañero Ultimate to create a textile suit that utilises all that is currently technically feasible in the areas of safety, comfort and functionality.

The Touratech Travel Event will take place for the 18th time from 9 to 11 June 2023.

With the zumo XT2, Garmin has now launched the successor model of the premium motorcycle navigator. Even more motorcycle-specific functions enable simplified route planning and provide an even wider range of useful extras when on the road. And, of course, Touratech already has a robust mount for this brand-new device that can cope with tough offroad use.
