General Description

XXZ Mono shock absorber – the direct evolution from racing. Thanks to the versatile adjustment options, the Bitubo XXZ 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 housing – an important point to tailor the handling to the rider's requirements. Furthermore, a new set-up has been developed to further align the XXZ with 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 at extreme lean angles or during rapid changes of direction, as well as uniform tire wear. It offers the greatest 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. Technically new solutions improve the damping coefficient and stability at high temperature.
By using a piston rod with a 14 mm diameter, the sliding behaviour is improved, while the Ø30mm separator piston reduces uncontrolled movements of the hydraulic oil. These improvements lead to a reduction in inertia forces, thus enabling immediate control of oscillating spring movements. Special attention was also paid to improving and simplifying the adjustment options, which are now all located in the upper part of the damper.
