motorcycle Lowering – More Riding Pleasure and Safety
A motorcycle lowering kit provides a lower seat height and can give you more confidence when stopping, manoeuvring, and during slow turns. Especially for shorter riders, beginners or riding schools, secure ground contact can be crucial. alpha Technik has been developing vehicle-specific lowering kits for motorcycles for many years. This involves more than just lowering the rear: the geometry of the entire motorcycle is considered and, if necessary, the front height is also adjusted. The aim is a genuine reduction in seat height with the least possible impact on riding dynamics.
Vehicle-specific motorcycle lowering instead of a universal solution
Depending on the motorcycle, different technical solutions are used, such as linkage levers, suspension struts, spring retainer or modified shock absorber mounts. Combinations of different measures are also possible. The variant used is developed specifically for the respective vehicle. At alpha Technik, the specified lowering is measured at the seat surface and thus describes the actual seat height reduction on the motorcycle. Additionally, the stability is tested – even with luggage. During the development frame, a fitting trial and functional test are carried out on the respective vehicle.
motorcycle lowering with ABE or parts certificate
Our lowering kits are supplied with the necessary conversion parts as well as detailed, illustrated and vehicle-specific step-by-step installation instructions. Depending on the product, a vehicle-specific ABE or a parts certificate is included in the scope of delivery. You can find the exact details in the respective item description. For some motorcycle lowering kits, an adjustment of the side stand may also be necessary. In this case, the requirements for the technical inspection or registration may also change. Therefore, you should always pay attention to the notes for the respective lowering kit.
Why choose motorcycle lowering kits from alpha Technik?
The decisive difference lies in the vehicle-specific development. For a new lowering kit, alpha Technik considers the geometry of the motorcycle as a complete system. Depending on the vehicle, in addition to the actual lowering, the front, stability and lean angle when stationary are also taken into account. If necessary, solutions such as stand shortenings or stand base plates can be part of the solution. This means you receive not a universal lowering kit, but a solution specially developed and tested for your motorcycle. In addition, there is high stock availability, personal technical advice and the option to reverse the lowering. Whether it's a BMW motorcycle lowering kit, Yamaha Ténéré 700 lowering kit, Honda Africa Twin lowering kit, Kawasaki Z900 lowering kit, Suzuki V-Strom lowering kit or a solution for many other models – you can find the right lowering kit for your bike via our vehicle selector.
