During the development of the chassis, it quickly became clear that we had to break new ground. We imagined a shock absorber that could be operated by “everyone” in a simple and understandable way. The result: our new 642 S Competition shock absorber.
It has only one compression valve, which can be operated by hand. Why only one compression valve? Quite simply because it is much easier to adjust and still meets the requirements of the machine and the rider. Because this new high-flow pressure stage valve, as the name suggests, ensures a higher oil flow. This in turn has the advantage that the shock responds extremely sensitively without significantly restricting the adjustment range. In addition, the large external reservoir ensures sufficient cooling of the damper oil even under the heaviest loads and thus a constant damper characteristic curve.
Apart from that, we have relied on reliable Wilbers technology that has been tried and tested over many years. In the basic version, the spring preload is infinitely variable by means of a hook spanner and the rebound stage is also manually adjustable in 22 clicks. Further options like a hydraulic spring preload can be added via the configurator.
This makes the 642 S Competition ideal for long journeys with demanding road conditions as well as off-road use, but also for ambitious country road riders. Last but not least, our individual tuning based on rider data ensures optimal handling for every rider weight and load condition.
You receive a 5-year warranty on the 642 S Competition shock absorber. Furthermore, our ABE makes an entry in the vehicle documents unnecessary.
