Touratech Suspension shock absorber for Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid, Type Extreme2

Extreme2 for maximum performance on any terrain

Whether on a winding road in the Pyrenees, in rough terrain off-road on an ACT tour, or on a local circuit, the successor to the popular Extreme shock absorber exceeds our expectations in terms of performance and comfort.

When developing the new Extreme2 shock absorber, our primary focus was on consistently reducing friction. The resulting efficiency and precision mean we're now even better positioned to master the balancing act between road and extreme off-road use, just as true adventure motorcycles should. Furthermore, the reduced friction also has a very positive effect on wear, ensuring your shock absorber retains its performance even after years of extreme use.

We achieved this extreme friction reduction, among other things, through the special "low friction" piston bands, which significantly improve the sliding behavior of the new 46 mm pistons. This significantly refines the response of the Extreme2 shock absorbers.

Our advanced travel-dependent damping system (PDS) features a newly designed hydraulic stop that works even more precisely and prevents bottoming out even under the toughest off-road conditions.

When the shock absorber is subjected to continuous, heavy loads, many suspension systems experience the problem of excessive damper oil overheating. The resulting viscosity change drastically reduces damper performance. As temperatures rise, wear also increases exponentially, which can lead to irreparable failure of the entire component.

To prevent this, the Extreme2 shock absorber features a new reservoir design with more oil volume and better heat dissipation. This allows us to categorically rule out even the slightest drop in performance.

The new shock absorber is rounded out with an expanded compression adjustment range at low and high speeds. This allows the damping to be adjusted even more precisely to meet every need.

In addition, the Extreme2 shock absorber features all the features of the Extreme1 shock absorber.

However, for maximum weight savings, we deliberately omitted hydraulic spring preload on this suspension. Of course, you can still adjust your spring preload mechanically.

The basic setup installed here is designed for riders up to 100 kg plus luggage. Adjustments for much higher payloads or other unusual requirements are possible. We will then customize the shock absorber to your individual needs.
