Touratech Plug & Travel Extreme 2 suspension

At the heart of the system is a 46 mm damper piston, fitted with a particularly low-friction piston band. This construction ensures that the suspension reacts sensitively even to the smallest bumps, offering the rider as much comfort as possible. In addition, Touratech relies on a separate piston with extra guidance - for even better sliding properties and maximum stability, even under high load and on long stages.

Particularly innovative is the patented electronic DDA valve (Dynamic Damping Adjustment). It adjusts the damping in real time to the respective riding situation and ensures that the GS is always optimally tuned to the road or terrain. Another highlight is the electronic spring preload, which is now integrated directly into the shock absorber. This eliminates the previously common external pump, and mounting becomes significantly easier.

Touratech has also taken thermal loads into account: a two-part reservoir with increased oil volume guarantees consistent performance across a wide temperature range - a decisive advantage on extreme tours or with heavy payload. The individually adjustable compression damping in high- and low-speed ranges also allows for a personal setup, tailored to riding style, luggage and route profile.

One of the biggest advantages: the Plug & Travel Extreme 2 elements integrate perfectly into BMW's own control concept. All familiar riding modes are retained and can be used as usual - all the technology works in the background, without burdening the rider with additional controls.

Touratech supplies the suspensions fully serviceable and, on request, tunes them precisely to the rider's weight, riding style and intended use based on an individual suspension check. This way, every GS is optimally adapted to personal needs - an important point, especially for long-distance travelers and high-mileage riders.

The Touratech Plug & Travel Extreme 2 suspension is available for both the BMW R 1200 GS LC / R 1250 GS as well as for the corresponding Adventure models - each as a single shock absorber for front or rear, or as a complete set.

With this suspension solution, Touratech once again underlines its ambition to develop motorcycle equipment that not only convinces technically, but also meets the real demands of touring riders and globetrotters. Anyone wanting to take their GS to the next level gets, according to the manufacturer, an uncompromising combination of precision, comfort and adventure spirit.
