General description

XXT Mono shock absorbers – the direct evolution from racing. Thanks to the versatile adjustment options, the Bitubo XXT shock absorber is easy to adapt even when installed.

The development of this damper culminates in a general weight reduction through the use of an aluminium casing – an important point for tuning the handling to the rider's requirements. Furthermore, a new set-up has been developed to further align the XXT with racing performance. An upgrade for optimised performance and simplification of length and hydraulic spring preload adjustment has also been installed.

The goal is to offer the rider precise control and maximum grip, even at extreme lean angles or during rapid changes in direction, as well as even tire wear. It offers maximum confidence when accelerating on all street surfaces and perfect rear wheel stability, even under the hardest braking.

Innovation also prevails inside the damper. With technically new solutions, the damping coefficient and stability at high temperatures are improved.
By using a piston rod with a 14 mm diameter, the sliding behaviour is improved, while the Ø30mm separating piston reduces uncontrolled movements of the hydraulic oil. These improvements lead to a reduction in inertia forces and thus enable immediate control of oscillating spring movements.
