Top racing rear shock absorber for Yamaha MT07 from 2014-2023 - Street / trackday / road racing

With the Bitubo XXZ31 rear shock absorber for the Yamaha MT07 we move into a category where things start to get really fun. The shock absorber is Bitubo's absolute top shock absorber, if we ignore the completely extreme XXZV shock absorber. The XXZ31 is the most popular racing shock absorber in Bitubo's program and a preferred shock absorber on the tracks. It has adjustable compression and rebound damping in both high and low speeds, as well as hydraulically adjustable spring preload. This means that regardless of your level, you can always find the 100% optimal setup for you.

Maximum comfort, safety and low lap times:

Most people who have tried a Yamaha MT07 know that suspension is the last thing Yamaha thought about when they made this otherwise very smooth-riding motorcycle. In short, this means that the shock absorbers are of lousy quality, and the springs are far too soft for the average Dane. Bitubo's shock absorbers contribute with a significantly better oil flow and a spring that is mounted to suit your weight. This gives a much more harmonious, comfortable and stable suspension. Typically, the replacement is described as the motorcycle becoming so stable that it feels like it's running on rails. However, an ultra important thing on an MT07 is that a second rear shock cannot stand alone. They will create uneven damping front and rear, which you don't want. So Pitboxen's recommendation is that you install a Bitubo Cartridge kit together with your new shock. If you want the best of the best on the market, a shock that provides great comfort on the street, and the absolute best grip on the track, then the Bitubo XXZ31 is the right choice. Specifications Spring preload hydraulically adjustable Rebound damping, adjustable in hi and low speed Compression, adjustable in hi and low speed Long, adjustable +/-5mm Remember to state your weight when ordering. The shock absorber is set up according to the total weight load on your motorcycle, i.e. if you always ride with a passenger, it is the total weight load from driver and passenger + equipment that must be noted. If you ride only 20% of your trips solo, you should only have the shock absorber set up to your own weight. The reason is that the shock absorber becomes WAY too hard when you ride alone if it is set up for you + passenger weight. NOTE : Bitubo dampers are custom-made items that are ordered based on your information, they are therefore made to order and the delivery time is typically 3-4 weeks. There is NO right of return on custom-made products, and payment for the item is collected upon ordering. Remember that Pitboxen is always ready to help you with assembly and setup. Suspension is a delicate matter, and replacement alone does not make a difference without a correct setup.
