The Ohlins BMW F800GS Adventure (PCS) is an Ohlins rear shock absorber developed for adventure and touring use where control and consistency matter over long, varied rides. It is built as a replacement unit to improve damping quality and maintain performance as conditions change. This listing title includes “PCS”, indicating a configuration detail within the Ohlins range, but no adjustment or construction details are provided in the supplied data.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension units are engineered around stable damping behaviour and repeatable tuning. The goal is predictable response across small bumps, load changes and sustained rough-road use, with a focus on durability and service support.

Who this shock is for

Suited to BMW F800GS Adventure riders who want a higher-quality rear suspension unit for mixed on-road and off-road travel, including commuting, touring and light-to-moderate off-road riding. It is also relevant if you regularly change luggage load or ride conditions and want a shock that can be tuned to suit.

Shock design & features

Based on the information provided, this is an Ohlins rear shock absorber for the BMW F800GS Adventure category application. The supplied data does not specify whether the shock is emulsion or has separated oil/gas, and does not list internal architecture details.

Tuning controls

The supplied product data does not state which external adjustments are included (for example rebound, compression, or preload adjustment method). If you need confirmation of the available tuning controls for this specific unit, match the shock’s identification details to the bike and intended use before purchase.

Before you install

  • Confirm exact model variant and year range for your BMW F800GS Adventure before fitting.
  • Check for clearance with luggage systems and any aftermarket linkages or ride-height changes.
  • After installation, set sag and baseline settings to suit rider weight and typical load before evaluating handling changes.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins units are designed to be serviceable so performance can be maintained over time. Service intervals and wear items depend on usage conditions, especially in dusty or wet adventure riding environments.

Öhlins Motorcycle Suspension Warranty

New Öhlins motorcycle shock absorbers, front forks and cartridge kits supplied by Teknik Motorsport are covered by the applicable Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Teknik Motorsport is an authorised Öhlins Service Centre and administers warranty claims in accordance with the Öhlins warranty conditions. The service intervals below form part of the maintenance requirements for Öhlins products supplied and supported by Teknik Motorsport.

This warranty is in addition to the consumer guarantees that apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

  • Registered motorcycles — non-competition road use Five years, subject to correct application, installation, setup and servicing every: 20,000 km or two years, whichever occurs first.
  • Registered motorcycles — adventure and light off-road use Five years, subject to correct application, spring rate, setup and servicing every: 10,000 km or annually, whichever occurs first.
  • Unregistered or competition motorcycles Two years for eligible Öhlins MX and Enduro products, subject to inspection every ten hours and servicing every: 30 operating hours or annually, whichever occurs first.

Compliance with the applicable service interval is a condition of the Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty. Evidence of servicing may be required when a warranty claim is assessed.

A seal leak, loss of damping performance or internal wear arising after the prescribed service interval has been exceeded will be treated as a service or maintenance issue rather than a manufacturing defect.

Warranty repairs

Öhlins suspension products are designed to be serviced and repaired. Where a warranty claim is approved, the normal remedy is repair of the customer’s original suspension unit using genuine Öhlins replacement parts.

Replacement of a complete shock absorber, fork or cartridge kit is not automatic and would normally occur only where the product has suffered a manufacturing failure that cannot reasonably be repaired. This is at Ohlins discretion. 

Öhlins spare parts and service kits

Öhlins spare parts, seals, bushes, service kits, springs, fluids and individual components are covered only against defects present when supplied.

No fixed age-based warranty applies to wear items, service parts or consumable components. Wear, deterioration, contamination, incorrect installation and damage caused by another component are not manufacturing defects.

Öhlins gives the customer a meaningful five-year warranty on products (Units), provided the suspension is maintained as suspension should be maintained. Teknik supports that warranty locally, can inspect the product properly, and can repair it with genuine parts rather than discarding it.
