TOURATECH
SUSPENSION
From the makers of some of the most
glorious touring equipment to ever adorn
a motorcycle comes Touratech suspension,
designed to meet the demands of touring on
your motorcycle.
Touratech Suspension is a complete
suspension solution that works straight out
of the box. Developed over three years by
Touratech and TracTive, the suspension isspecifi cally designed for use on adventure
motorcylces and gives you greatly improved
handling and load-carrying capabilities than
what your standard suspension will.
The suspension is built for use with
standard or heavy loads and offers top
performance both on and off the road.
It comes with 50 per cent more pre-load
adjustment than standard shocks, and
every set of Touratech Suspension comes
with specifi c set-up instructions for yourparticular bike. Touratech Suspension
features an alloy body that helps to
dissipate heat better than a steel-bodied
shock, making it ideal for our hot
Australian conditions.
Touratech Suspension is available
in four versions — Explore, Explore HP,
Expedition and Extreme — for a huge range
of adventure bikes that you can check out on
the Touratech website.

Red esigned and restructured in a 110/80-18
front and 180/55-17 rear as the standard
fi tment rubber for Ducati’s new Scrambler,
the Pirelli MT 60 RS is a tyre designed for
road sports performance and traction on
unpaved roads.
Built to fi t the 3in-wide front wheel
and 5.5in-wide rear wheel, the RS differs
in its design through larger and more
variable-sized knobs on the tyre edge,
which make for more rubber on the
road than the MT 60. This increase in
contact area helps braking, cornering andstability performance on the road while
still providing good levels of traction on
unpaved roads.
The compounds of the RS have come
from the Diablo Rosso II — a road sports
tyre — up front to give high grip in the
wet and dry and at the rear a sport-
touring compound has been used to
give the tyre good grip in the wet and
excellent mileage. There’s also a 160/60-17
rear tyre in the RS.
