BMW R12nineT, R12, R12S & R12G/S Wilbers Suspension type 540 Road rear

Optimize the handling of your classic BMW R12 while maintaining the original seat height. The Wilbers shock absorber, combined with the revised fork spring, makes optimal use of the model’s characteristically short suspension travel. Thanks to the precisely matched spring, preload, and larger air chamber, the shock delivers significantly improved responsiveness, increased comfort, and a more harmonious riding feel, making every ride even more enjoyable!

This shock absorber (Ø 46 mm) is a high-quality, cost-effective rear suspension solution for your BMW R 12. It features continuously adjustable spring preload using the included hook wrench and ensures consistently optimal damping thanks to its 46 mm radial piston and progressive shim package, regardless of compression or rebound speed.
