Touratech Suspension shock absorber Extreme2 +25mm for Yamaha Tenere 700 (2019-)

Extreme2 for maximum performance in any terrain, whether on a winding road in the Pyrenees, in tough off-road terrain on your ACT trip or on your Sunday coffee ride, the successor to the popular Extreme shock has exceeded all our expectations in terms of performance and comfort. The shock also offers +25mm more ground clearance.

When developing the new Extreme2 shock absorber, our main focus was on consistently reducing friction. Thanks to the resulting efficiency and precision, we are now even better able to master the balancing act between road and extreme off-road use. Just as it should be for real adventure motorcycles. Furthermore, the reduced friction also has an extremely positive effect on wear, so that your shock absorber retains its performance after years of extreme use.

The extreme reduction in friction has been achieved, among other things, by the special “low friction” piston bands, which significantly improve the sliding behavior of the new 46 mm pistons. This significantly refines the response behavior of the Extreme2 dampers.

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

Many suspensions have the problem that the damper oil heats up excessively when the suspension strut is subjected to constant heavy loads. The resulting change in viscosity drastically reduces damper performance. If temperatures rise, wear also increases exponentially, which can lead to irreparable failure of the entire component.

To avoid this, the Extreme2 damper has a new reservoir design with more oil volume and better heat dissipation. This means that we can categorically rule out even the smallest drops in performance.

The new damper is rounded off with an extended compression adjustment range of 30 clicks at low and high speed. This allows the damping to be adjusted even more precisely to all requirements.

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

For maximum weight savings, however, we have deliberately dispensed with the hydraulic spring preload on this suspension. Of course, you can still adjust your spring preload mechanically.

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

Important note:
With this suspension solution, the rear and front sections of the motorcycle must be adjusted together. The side stand and/or main stand must be adapted to ensure a secure stand.
