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 an anti-friction coating, and friction-minimised bushing. The lower and upper mountings are made from an aluminium alloy, as used in aviation – precisely CNC machined. The setting of the spring preload is hydraulic and can be carried out either manually or with a 14 mm HH screw.

The balance tank is separate 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 with the suffix ‘2’ have a black spring. For example, the shock absorber ‘CLU31’ has a red spring, and ‘CLU32’ consequently has a black one.
