Generally, the vehicle has too much damping in the fork, but too little in the shock absorber. This leads to a loss of direct driving feel.
Originally, linear fork springs were mounted in the fork. These have been replaced by progressive fork springs at Wilbers, which leads to a much better response in the beginning and offers more reserve in the second, harder spring rate than the stock. With simultaneous adjustment of the fork oil and the air chamber, the general setting was optimised here.
The suspension geometry on the front and rear axle was sensibly adjusted via the negative spring deflections.
Originally, the vehicle had slightly too much negative spring travel. By making the shock absorber minimally shorter, the seat height remains as original.
In addition, the rebound and compression damping has been optimised.
This results in a better ride and better handling, which also contributes to a safer ride.
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.
