General description

CLU - the link between street and racing. This high-performance shock absorber is dedicated to street and sports motorcycles. This is a gas-assisted shock absorber, with a separating piston for oil/nitrogen in the balance tank, Ø16mm piston rod with anti-friction coating, and minimised friction bushing. The lower and upper mountings are made of an aluminium alloy, as used in aviation - precisely CNC machined. The setting of the spring preload is hydraulic and can be done 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, „CLU32“ consequently a black one.
