Wilbers Suspension type 640 Road rear for BMW R12

BMW R12 Bikes

BMW R12nineT, R12, R12S & R12G/S Wilbers Suspension type 640 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!

Wilbers Shock Absorber Type 640 Road: Adjustable spring preload and rebound damping
The basic version of the Wilbers Adjust-Line mono shock impresses with high-quality engineering without unnecessary frills: a radial piston, wet-running guide, and Teflon-coated spherical bearings ensure reliable responsiveness and long service life. The spring preload can be continuously adjusted, while the rebound damping can be finely tuned in 22 steps via an open bleed system - ideal for a perfectly personalized riding experience. Even without an external reservoir, the shock offers significantly better performance than many stock solutions and can be flexibly adapted to weight, load, and riding style thanks to numerous upgrade options. While the standard spring preload adjustment is carried out using the included hook spanner, the optional hydraulic version allows for a significantly easier and more convenient adjustment via a handwheel. When your vehicle is carrying a heavier load, the correct ride height can thus be restored in no time without having to use a hook spanner.
