The BMW R 1200 GS / GS Adventure are sold very successfully into many countries of the world. The last update for the BMW R 1200 GS / GS Adventure surely was a small sensation when BMW as the worlds’ first manufacturer announced the ESA system!

ESA is a great “invention” as you can modify the suspension damping in three steps while riding. In addition you can setup the spring preload easily and comfortably by simply pressing a button.

What wasn’t possible anymore was to retrofit aftermarket shock absorbers to match for example very light or heavy riders. Neither was it possible to install a Wilbers shock to achieve the popular seating height lowering!

Now the world sensation is available! A Wilbers suspension, individually built to the riders‘ requirements and even fit for lowering the motorcycle for up to 80 mm without surrendering the ESA system – or better: the “Wilbers-WESA”.

After a long time of intensive development we now introduce a „Wilbers-WESA” suspension for the worlds’ top-selling BMWs. “Wilbers-WESA” is individually built for each customer, no matter how tall or heavy the client might be. No matter how big the loading – all this with a lowering of up to 65 mm with the R 1200 GS and even 80 mm with the R 1200 GS Adventure!

“Wedding”
We managed to pair the BMW ESA system with our Wilbers technology thus keeping the great ESA function in connection with a tailor made setup in damping and spring rate respectively in seating height. Henceforward both, the 60 kg customer as well as the 150 kg customer can enjoy a completely new riding sensation on the R 1200 GS-ESA / R 1200 GS Adventure!

In addition a lowering solution for the ESA-GS’ is finally deliverable so that the feet of shorter or more sedate customers can reach the ground up to 80 mm earlier!

The “Wilbers-WESA” suspension units are available in standard height, and for lowering The GS for 35 mm or even 65 mm and the GS Adventure for 50 and 80 mm – all tailor made in accordance to operation purpose and loading situation!

The procedure where the original BMW ESA technology is matched with our “Wilbers-WESA” suspension products is technically complex and therefore for the time being can only be realised by the Wilbers factory in Nordhorn and by a couple of trained WESA partners!
After successfully finishing a special WESA training some of our importers are also able to perform the demanding coupling as well as assembly and disassembly. Find a list of participating partners for the WESA rebuild under www.wilbers.de.

Attention!
Before you send us your front and rear shocks for rebuild, set the BMW ESA system to “comfort” and “solo-riding”. Afterwards unplug the ESA control and send the complete shocks to your desired Wilbers partner. Possible addresses you can find on our website. Quote your weight and the weight of your pillion, payload and luggage weight as well as your riding style.

The basic setup is characterized by a very harmonic and sensitive damping which increases overall comfort and, due to the clear feedback, gives you a better feeling for the surface!

The so called “traffic-light-syndrome” which is best known to shorter bikers totally disappears after lowering the motorcycle with WESA! It is only natural that afterwards riding through city traffic is much more fun despite all stoplights. Safety is also increased because now the ground is securely reachable with both feet! Send us your original suspension elements as described above after you made an appointment for the coupling or installation. That way we can guarantee the delivery time of 14 working days needed to build the suspension elements.

You’ll immediately recognize our WESA products by their orange springs. The spring rate is picked individually and in reference to the motorcycles’ loading. Although you might be used to have more choices at Wilbers, in this case it’s not possible to order the springs in different colours.
