General Description

XXT Mono shock absorbers – the direct evolution from racing. Thanks to the versatile adjustment options, the Bitubo XXT shock absorber can be easily adjusted 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 was developed to orient the XXT even more towards racing performance. An upgrade for optimised performance and simplification of the adjustment of length and hydraulic spring preload 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 of direction, as well as uniform 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 are improved at high temperatures.
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 inertial forces and thus enable immediate control of oscillating spring movements.
