Product Description

The Level 2 shock absorber for the Suzuki V-Strom 650/XT is the right choice for long distance riding and touring use. This type of shock absorber offers a large adjustment range with plenty of reserves to meet the demands of motorbike travel. Its floating piston design, hydraulic preload and fine damping adjustment enable a more suitable suspension setup for different loading conditions than is possible with the bike manufacturer's standard components. You can easily and quickly restore the bike's balance via a hand wheel that adjusts the hydraulic spring preload. The damping setting on this Level 2 shock allows the necessary degree of control over the bump and rebound to adjust the shock absorber to suit your individual ride comfort requirements.

Facts at a glance:
=> This shock absorber is configured and adjusted ready for use based on our experience with the Suzuki V-Strom 650/XT.
=> The parameters are: vehicle weight / shock absorber pivot point / design constraints / test rides.
=> This shock absorber is designed for a rider's weight including luggage of up to 100 kg.
=> As with all suspension solutions, the rear and front of the motorbike should be modified together.
If only one component is changed, optimal handling will not be achieved.


A shock absorber that makes it easy and convenient to adjust your bike for different loading conditions.

Characteristics of the Touratech Suspension Level 2 shock absorber:
=> The shock absorber body is made of aluminium. This keeps its weight to a minimum.
=> Special low-friction seals are fitted.
=> As a result, there is very little wear and the shock absorber has a long service life.
=> Strong stainless steel bushings for the securing bolts are fitted to the spring eye.
=> They make sure the securing bolt is seated firmly with no play even under maximum loads.
=> All assemblies and components are designed for intense use on heavy touring motorcycles.
=> The damper settings were developed in line with Touratech's experience and requirements.
=> They are based on many miles travelled and experiences gained from use by the Touratech Race Team.
=> Floating piston design. The floating piston separates the damping fluids – oil and nitrogen – allowing them to work separately.
=> Finer shock absorber response. Precise, high-performance damping even with very high damping frequency (bad roads, dirt tracks).
=> Shock absorber cools better. Minimal restrictions for the shock absorber's fitting position on the motorbike.
=> High End hydraulic preload via an easily accessible, well positioned hand wheel.
=> QR barcode on the shock absorber contains individual shock absorber data.
=> Simply scan with a smartphone to access the specific information for the shock absorber.
=> Information on the shock absorber's factory settings is always available. Can be reset if incorrectly adjusted.
