Originally, the fork had linear fork springs. These have been replaced by progressive fork springs, which leads to a significantly better initial response and offers more reserve in the second spring rate than the series. On the rear shock, the spring rate is adjusted via a slightly stiffer spring, in combination with optimised rebound and compression damping.
The suspension geometry on the front and rear axle was sensibly adjusted via the negative spring travel. Originally, the vehicle had somewhat high negative spring travel. These were adjusted by a minimally shorter suspension strut, so that the original seat height is retained.
This results in better driving behaviour and better handling, which also contributes to safe driving behaviour.
The basic edition of the Wilbers Adjustline mono shock absorber comes along with the same technology as the more complex versions. The difference is that here we leave out the compression reservoir and thus the options for adjusting high- and low-speed compression. Nonetheless this shock absorber does not make any compromises concerning response behavior or durability. The radial piston, wet run, teflon guided self-aligning bearings and other features redefine the quality of a standard shock. Like usual the spring preload can be continuously tuned and the rebound can be set over an open-bleed system in 22 clicks. The shock absorber can be retrofitted with many other Wilbers accessories.
