Nitron Suspension for the BMW F800GS (08-12)

[Stormforce8]

Since last year we’ve been developing a new range of shocks – Adventure Series - with the well-respected UK manufacturer Nitron Racing Systems Ltd.

The Adventure Series range of shock absorbers has been developed specifically for Dual Sport bikes with components especially designed to enable them to function and perform on the heavier bikes being used both on and off road.

Using billet aluminium components, the Adventure Series shocks feature heavy-duty rods and a high-flow piston, both of which are custom tuned and developed for the demands of long-distance road trips through to competitive endurance events, and will vastly improve the ride and handling of your bike at a significantly reduced weight compared to a standard shocks.

All shocks are fitted with Nitron's exclusively developed Bi-Axis fittings (on hose shocks) that allow for simple and precise installation.

All shocks are built in the UK, have a unique identifier code, and are fully serviceable.

So far we have developed Adventure Series Shock Absorbers for the following bikes:
• BMW F800GS (08-12)
• BMW R1150GS
• BMW R1150GS Adventure
• Honda Africa Twin XRV650/XRV750 (89-92)
• Honda Africa Twin XRV750 (93-03)
• Yamaha XT660Z Tenere (08>)

I’ll start a new thread for each model, so this one is all about the shock absorber range for the BMW F800GS (08-12).

NTR Adventure Series Shock Absorbers for the BMW F800GS (08-12)

There are 3 versions available, depending on the amount of adjustability you want, and all are available with or without a remote Hydraulic Preload Adjuster (HPA):

1. NTR SPORT+
2. NTR PRO
3. NTR XTREME

As each shock is custom built for each rider, depending on weight and riding style, you can specify if you require a lowered or lengthened shock to suit your specific requirements.


1 – NTR Sport+ & NTR Sport+ with HPA

The NTR Sport+ shock is a high performance gas monotube type damper (NOT Emulsion) where the gas is separated from the oil by a piston.

Features:
• 2-way combined rebound and compression damping control
• 46mm high-flow damper piston
• 16mm piston rod
• Adjustable manual spring preload (or optional remote HPA)
• Independent adjustable ride height
• 24 click combined adjustment (on base of shock)
• Complete with Nitron spring

The shock features spring preload as well as shock length adjustment. It comes preset for damping and preload and includes the bearing end spacers and preload c-spanner.
The combined damping adjuster knob varies the compression and rebound damping simultaneously.

Optionally, the hydraulic preload adjuster allows you to quickly and easily change the preload on the spring via a remote knob making c-spanners and other tools unnecessary.
This is particularly useful for people who regularly take pillion passengers and/or luggage as it allows you to compensate for a variation in load, maintaining the comfort and handling characteristics of your bike by retaining the correct ride height.

Hi,

So, Annette mentioned a version should be coming for the lowered F800 in the other thread. Can I check you mean the F650 Twin (798cc) Factory-Lowered Suspension model?

Do you guys have the spec's for the lowered-suspension F650s ready to make if it won't be as mass produced as the others?

If so, that could prove handy when my OEM one goes

Many thanks!
