Bitubo XXZ3 Adjustable Shock (w/ Hydraulic Preload) for 2017-2023 Suzuki GSX-R1000 / GSX-R1000R

Since 1975, Bitubo has been the ideal solution for those looking for the best from their machine: performance, comfort, driving precision, and above all, the quality of an excellent product, continuously developed in constant collaboration with advanced research centers, tested and developed with fatigue and destructive tests, both in software and dynamic simulations.  Bitubo products are used in WSBK, BSB, CIV, CEV, IDM, and many other national championships around the world.

The XXZ3 incorporates new technical solutions for improving the damping coefficient and increasing damping consistency at high temperatures. The 14mm rod improves sliding, while the 30mm piston reduces the mass of the fluid in motion. These improvements have produced a reduction of inertial forces, and thus immediate control of the suspension oscillations. Particular attention was paid to increase ergonomics and precision of the adjusters, which are all positioned on the upper portion of the shock for ease of access.

The target is to give the rider precise control and increase maximum grip, as well as even tire wear which is  provided by the immediate damping force. This gives confidence to the rider in the corners even at extreme lean angles, during fast direction changes and under hard  acceleration. At the same time it provides excellent stability at the rear, even under the most extreme braking, regardless of the track  or surface condition.  Includes mounting instructions and settings guide.

Adjustments:

• Low speed compression:                                 24 clicks
• High speed compression:                                20 clicks
• Rebound:                                                         24 clicks
• Spring preload:                                                12 mm = 24 clicks
• Length:                                                             8mm range
