Touratech has launched a new range of motorcycle lowering systems covering over 200 models of adventure and sport touring bikes. The kits reduce seat height without compromising suspension behavior, offering a smarter alternative to traditional lowering links.
Touratech, the German specialist in motorcycle accessories, has announced a new line of suspension lowering solutions for adventure and sport touring motorcycles. Covering more than 200 models, the kits are designed to lower the seat height while maintaining the original suspension geometry—avoiding the handling compromises often associated with traditional lowering links.
How is this different from traditional lowering links?
Traditional lowering links change the rear suspension angle, reducing travel and altering the bike’s behavior, especially over bumps or under load. Touratech’s new systems use modified internal components in both front and rear shocks to lower the ride height while preserving the original suspension angles. This approach aims to retain the bike’s stability and handling characteristics.
Which motorcycles are covered?
The range includes over 200 models, covering popular adventure bikes such as the BMW GS series, KTM Adventure, and Yamaha Tenere, as well as sport bikes like the Kawasaki Ninja and Suzuki GSX-R. Each model gets a specific kit with modified springs and internal shock components.
How are they installed?
Installation requires replacing the springs and internal shock components, and is best performed by an authorized service center or a professional mechanic. Touratech provides detailed installation guides for each model.
When will these be available in Saudi Arabia?
Touratech has not yet announced a specific release date for the Saudi market, but global shipments are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2025. The kits can be ordered directly from the Touratech website or through regional dealers.
What is the price?
Official pricing has not been announced, but the kits are expected to range from USD 300 to USD 600 (approximately SAR 1,125 to SAR 2,250), depending on the model and system type.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Touratech lowering kits affect my motorcycle's warranty?
Installing any lowering system may affect the original suspension warranty. It's recommended to check with your local dealer for warranty terms before installation.
Can I install the kit myself?
Installation requires mechanical expertise and involves replacing springs and internal shock components. It's best to have a certified service center perform the work to ensure safety.
What is the difference between this system and standard lowering links?
Standard lowering links alter the suspension angle and reduce travel, affecting stability. Touratech's system maintains the original suspension geometry, lowering the height without compromising handling.
