  • 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 the Tractive DDA damping valve (Dynamic Damping Adjustment).
  • The motorbike's control unit does not notice electrical differences between the original damping valve and the Tractive DDA damping valve.
  • However, the Tractive DDA valve is more stable, has a larger adjustment range and adjusts faster than the orginal valve.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..
