Properties and function

The shock absorber works with a gas pressure emulsion system that ensures constant damping. The thread adjustment of the spring preload enables individual adjustment to different driving conditions and rider weight. The simple linear spring rate supports a consistent spring action without complex tuning.

The combination of aluminum and steel ensures a good balance between stability and weight. The black and silver surface is robust and corrosion-resistant, which supports a long service life of the shock absorber.

Assembly and application

The shock absorber is intended for rear wheel mounting on the Suzuki GT 500. The length of 300 mm when extended corresponds to the original dimensions and ensures easy and precise installation. The internal reservoir contributes to a compact design.

This pair of shock absorbers is suitable for replacing or renewing the rear suspension to maintain driving safety and comfort.
