General description

CLU - the link between street and racing. This high-performance shock absorber is dedicated to street and sport motorcycles. This is a gas-pressure-assisted shock absorber, with a separating piston for oil / nitrogen in the balance tank, a Ø16mm piston rod with anti-friction coating, and a friction-minimised bushing. The lower and upper mountings are made of an aluminium alloy, as used in aviation - precisely CNC machined. The setting of the spring preload is hydraulic and can be adjusted both manually and by a 14 mm HH screw.

The balance tank is separated from the housing to allow for better positioning on the vehicle and to optimise the cooling of the hydraulic oil. They are connected by a flexible, steel-braided hose. The shock absorber improves feedback from the bike and increases grip and comfort.

The last digit in the shock absorber's designation indicates the colour of the spring: "1" stands for a red spring, while shock absorbers ending with "2" have a black spring. For example, the "CLU31" shock absorber has a red spring, "CLU32" consequently has a black one.

- compression damping low-speed: 24 clicks
- compression damping high-speed: 20 clicks
- Rebound: 24 clicks
- Hydr. spring preload: 12 mm = 24 clicks
