Rear - EXTREME - White by Touratech: rear shock absorber designed for the KTM LC8 950 Adventure (from 2005 onwards). Specifically designed for travel and road use with frequent load variations (luggage, passenger), it combines fine adjustments and specific protections for better chassis control in all conditions.
- PDS Technology: hydraulic protection against shock failure via a second damping piston to limit mechanical overload at the end of the stroke.
- Hydraulic Preload: quick and accessible adjustment via a knob to restore the motorcycle's balance according to load and rider.
- Separate Adjustments: compression adjustable independently for high and low speeds; rebound adjustable to refine the behaviour.
- Separate Compensation Reservoir and separator piston (oil/nitrogen): better cooling and more precise response over long distances or rough roads.
- Robust Construction: aluminium body (lightweight), stainless steel bushings in the eyelet, low-friction seals for longevity and mechanical stability.
- ABE Approval: road compliant. Colour: white. Installation: rear.
- Usage Capacity: configured for a rider up to 100 kg (including luggage); possibility to adapt the spring (stiffer) for special configurations or larger reservoirs.
- Traceability: QR code on the shock absorber with individual data and basic settings.
The Touratech Extreme is aimed at the demanding touring motorcyclist requiring precise, adaptable, and durable damping. The multiple adjustments allow for the preload, compression, and rebound to be tailored according to riding style, load, and road conditions.
