General description

XXZ mono shock absorber – the direct evolution from racing. Thanks to the versatile adjustment options, the Bitubo XXZ shock absorber can be easily adapted even when installed. The development of this damper culminates in an overall weight reduction through the use of an aluminium body – an important point for tuning the handling to the rider's requirements. Furthermore, a new set-up has been developed to further focus the XXZ on racing performance. An upgrade for optimised performance and simplification of length and hydraulicer spring preload adjustment has also been installed. The goal is to offer the rider precise control and maximum grip, even in extreme lean angles or during rapid changes of direction, as well as even tire wear. It offers maximum confidence when accelerating on all street surfaces and perfect stability of the rear wheel, even under the hardest braking. Innovation also prevails inside the damper. With technically new solutions, the damping coefficient and stability at high temperature are improved. By using a piston rod with a 14 mm diameter, the sliding behaviour is improved, while the Ø30mm separating piston reduces the uncontrolled movements of the hydraulic oil. These improvements lead to a reduction in inertia forces and thus enable immediate control of the oscillating spring movements. Special attention was also paid to improving and simplifying the adjustment options, all of which are now located in the upper part of the damper.
