Sensitive characteristics thanks to progressive replacement springs, maximum performance with the Explore shock absorber and more stable riding characteristics even under extreme conditions thanks to the CSC steering damper: Touratech Suspension parts effectively optimise the chassis of the new BMW R 12 G/S.
With the R 12 G/S, BMW Motorrad is making the dream of many motorcyclists for an adventure bike reduced to the essentials come true. Powered by the proven air/oil-cooled boxer engine, the machine offers more than enough power with 109 hp to move dynamically on country roads and gravel tracks. The beefy characteristics of the twin, with 115 Newton metres already at 6,500 rpm, ensure impressive traction even on loose surfaces. For riders who want to get the most out of their R 12 G/S, Touratech Suspension now offers a package of high-quality parts for upgrading the chassis.
The replacement springs for the fork and shock absorber offer particularly sensitive characteristics combined with high reserves in extreme conditions. This is made possible by the progressive curve of the springs, which is advantageous in both road and off-road use. The progressive springs are available both as a set for front and rear suspension and also separately for optimising the fork. In addition to the standard length, the springs are also available in a shorter version for lowering the seat height by 25 millimetres.
For those who want to go one step further in upgrading the performance of their R 12 G/S chassis, Touratech Suspension offers a specially tailored rear shock absorber from the Explore series. The specific Touratech setup is designed for heavy-duty use, such as when traveling with luggage. Individual adjustment options are available for the rebound and compression damping; the latter can be adjusted particularly finely in the high and low speed ranges. The spring preload is adjusted mechanically. The external reservoir provides a large oil volume, which always maintains the optimum temperature even under high loads. Like all Touratech Suspension products, the Explore shock absorber for the BMW R 12 G/S is fully serviceable, guaranteeing a long lifetime.
In contrast to the standard product, the Touratech Suspension CSC steering damper for the BMW R12 G/S offers extensive adjustment options. With 24 clicks, the damping performance can be adapted in small steps to the intended use – from sporty country road riding to off-road riding with a heavy load. The steering damper makes the handling of the R12 G/S noticeably steadier, even in critical situations. This means that even long stages on off-road terrain can be tackled in a relaxed and fatigue-free manner. Additional shock absorber variants for the BMW R 12 G/S will soon be added to the Touratech Suspension product range.
