Touratech is marking the 10th year anniversary of their first Plug & Travel replacement shock for the BMW Boxer GS with the release of its next-generation Plug & Travel EVO. Completely redesigned based on the feedback gained through countless miles ridden, the new suspension system features technical innovations that provide a greater range of adjustment, better damping performance, and dramatically improved comfort on water-cooled Boxer GS motorcycles. 

Developed in a years-long collaboration between Touratech and renowned suspension producers JRZ and Eibach, the next-gen EVO is touted as having a true Plug & Play integration with the stock BMW electronics. The new technology includes a HyperFlow damper piston that is engineered to suppress foaming and cavitation, which ensures consistent damping for predictable and stable performance no matter how tough the terrain gets. This combined with the newly developed electromagnetic valve, that responds quickly to changes on the ground, provides a planted feel and enhanced sense of control for the rider.

Touratech highlights that the engineering feat of auto-leveling suspension is one of the best innovations of its kind in the last decade. “The Plug & Travel EVO has been specifically developed to not only accommodate it, but actually enhance the auto-leveling performance of BMW motorcycles,” says the company. The EVO rear shock also has a power-house pre-load adjuster that improves performance with lightning-fast action and bulletproof reliability.
