Touratech Suspension Cartridge Kit Extreme for BMW F800GS 2008 - 2012
Product information "Touratech Suspension Cartridge Kit Extreme for BMW F800GS 2008 - 2012"
The Touratech Suspension Cartridge Kit Extreme is simply put a shock absorber for the fork and represents the absolute premium class in suspension technology. The Closed Cartridge is installed in the original fork. This way, the fork bridge/handlebar mount, brakes, wheel guidance, and steering geometry remain fully intact. No additional modifications to the fork are required.
This Closed Cartridge is perfectly designed for touring and riding operations with frequently and heavily changing loads and riding conditions or extreme demands.
This means for you:
Any luggage volume from the tail bag to the loaded luggage system and/or passenger operation is accommodated by the extreme adjustment range. The spring preload, rebound, and compression damping are fully adjustable from the top. The damping oil is contained in a closed cartridge, allowing for precise dosing of the oil quantity. This results in the Closed Cartridge offering a significantly finer and more pleasant response behavior of the fork. The very finely adjustable damping allows for an effective, precise, and personalized suspension setup for any road condition and purpose, whether on highways, federal roads, small country roads, off-road sections, long-distance travel with large luggage, or a sporty, ambitious riding style. Should exceptionally harsh road conditions affect the front wheel, the integrated "Hydraulic Endstop" prevents mechanical bottoming out of the fork.
You will experience a completely new riding sensation with your motorcycle.
Features of the Touratech Suspension Closed Cartridges:
- The Closed Cartridge is installed in the original fork. This way, the fork bridge/handlebar mount,
brakes, wheel guidance, and steering geometry remain fully intact.
- No additional modifications to the fork are required.
- A Closed Cartridge is an extreme shock absorber in the fork.
- Fully adjustable spring preload from the top (with adjustment tool included) in both fork legs for optimal balance of the motorcycle. 20mm over 12 clicks.
- Separately adjustable rebound damping 20 clicks (1 fork leg).
- Compression damping 20 clicks (1 fork leg) damping.
- For precise damping adjustment at very high damping frequency and high load (bad roads, tracks with luggage).
- High damping stability and robustness due to a built-in 35 mm piston.
- Closed design (Closed Cartridge) thus closed oil cartridge for damping
and the oil in the fork serves purely for lubrication.
- Damping oil (cartridge) and nitrogen, in a nitrogen bubble at the foot of the cartridge,
- Very fine response behavior with simultaneously extremely high stability and rigidity of the fork.
- Due to the separation of oil and nitrogen, no foaming and no stick-slip in the fork.
- This means reproducible damping performance at all times, even under the most extreme demands.
- This fork does not bottom out. Each cartridge is equipped with a "Hydraulic endstop" against bottoming out.
The basic setup is tuned for the demanding adventure rider with luggage.
Adjustments for exceptional requirements are possible. The shock absorber will then be individually adapted to your needs by us with a spring of the appropriate spring rate and further configurations.

Touratech Suspension Shock Absorber for BMW F800GS up to 2012 Type Level2/ExploreHP
€1,015.00*
The Level 2 Shock Absorber is the right choice for long-distance and touring use on the BMW F800GS. This type of shock absorber offers a wide adjustment range and high reserves for the demands of motorcycle travel. The separation piston design, hydraulic preload adjustment, and finely adjustable damping allow for a more precise adaptation of your motorcycle to different loading conditions than is possible with the stock components from motorcycle manufacturers. The balance of the motorcycle can be easily and quickly adjusted by hand via the hydraulic preload adjustment. The damping settings of this Level 2 shock absorber allow for the necessary influence on the rebound and compression stages to meet your individual requirements for riding comfort. Important Points at a Glance:=> The shock absorber is configured and ready to ride based on our experiences for the BMW F800GS.=> Parameters include: vehicle weight / linkage of the shock absorber / structural conditions / test rides.=> The shock absorber mentioned here is designed for a rider weight of up to 100kg including travel luggage.=> For all suspension solutions, the rear and front areas of the motorcycle should be adjusted.=> The suitable component for the front of the BMW F800GS is:=> Progressive fork springs, BMW F800GS *ABE* 01-040-7400-0=> Progressive fork springs, BMW F800GS *Strong* *ABE* 01-040-7408-0Replacing only one component will not achieve optimal handling.A shock absorber that allows you to easily and comfortably respond to different loading conditions of your motorcycle.Features of the Touratech Suspension Level 2 Shock Absorber:=> The shock absorber housing is made of aluminum. *** This results in the lowest possible weight. => Special, low-friction seals are installed.*** This leads to very low wear and a long lifespan of the shock absorber.=> Stable stainless steel bushings for the mounting screws are installed in the shock absorber eye. *** This ensures a stable, play-free fit of the mounting screw even under the highest loads.=> All components are designed for intensive use with heavy touring motorcycles. => The damping settings were developed based on the experiences and requirements of Touratech.*** The basis is many travel kilometers and the experiences from the operations of the Touratech Race Team.=> Separation piston design. This allows the damping fluids oil and nitrogen to act separately.*** Finer response of the shock absorber. *** High, precise damping performance even at very high damping frequencies (bad roads, tracks). *** Better cooling of the shock absorber. *** Minimal restrictions on the installation position of the shock absorber in the motorcycle.=> Hydraulic high-end preload adjustment via a conveniently positioned handwheel. => QR code on the shock absorber with individual shock absorber information.*** This allows for easy retrieval of shock-specific information by scanning with a smartphone.*** Always accessible information on the basic settings of the shock absorber. Reset possible in case of incorrect settings. If you have installed a larger tank than the original tank on your motorcycle or made modifications for additional luggage storage, adjustments are possible. The shock absorber will then be individually adapted to your needs by us through a spring with a higher spring rate. Please use our suspension check form and send us the completed form.
