Touratech set out to build the dream shock for an adventure motorcycle and has succeeded in creating a high-performance suspension upgrade with the Touratech Extreme Rear Shock for the KTM 1190 Adventure R.
The OEM shock on the new 1190 Adventure R lacks position-dependent-dampening (PDS) and will bottom-out in some conditions. This can result in mechanical failures and a less-than-ideal ride. The terrain adventure bikes cross is constantly changing and riders will often need to traverse unexpected obstacles and challenges.
Combine Touratech’s cutting-edge, PDS “bottoming control technology” with a remote reservoir, fully adjustable high-speed and low-speed compression damping, adjustable rebound damping, high-flow fittings, low friction seals and 50% more preload adjustment than most other shocks on the market and you begin to see why this is the shock of choice for KTM riders who want the ultimate in off-road performance.
