BMW R 1250 GS Adventure Front Shock eX-CITE Lowered -25mm

Plug & Play Upgrade shock absorber with electronic damping adjustment.

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.
