shock absorber type 640 Road
Art. No.: 640-1341-00
Customer feedback on the Ducati Desert X led to the conclusion that the standard version of the vehicle has extremely high negative suspension travel in the shock absorber.
This is problematic in that a fully loaded motorbike no longer stands securely on the side stand, or even threatens to tip over to the opposite side.
For this reason, the Wilbers solution reduces the negative spring travel and makes the shock slightly longer, so that the Wilbers standard corresponds to a "raising" of 15mm.
This improves ride and handling and thus contributes to a safer ride.
On the rear shock absorber, a relatively hard spring is fitted as standard, which is only imperceptibly compressed by the rider in case of potholes and bumps. The Wilbers conversion uses a slightly softer spring with additionally adjusted rebound and compression damping. This makes the vehicle much more stable, with increased ride comfort and traction!
The fork is delivered with linear fork springs as standard. The Wilbers solution uses progressive fork springs together with SKF oil seals and dust caps. This leads to a much better response and offers significantly more reserve in the second spring rate than the standard condition.
The basic edition of the Wilbers Adjustline mono shock absorber comes along with the same technology as the more complex versions. The difference is that here we leave out the compression reservoir and thus the options for adjusting high- and low-speed compression. Nonetheless this shock absorber does not make any compromises concerning response behavior or durability. The radial piston, wet run, teflon guided self-aligning bearings and other features redefine the quality of a standard shock. Like usual the spring preload can be continuously tuned and the rebound can be set over an open-bleed system in 22 clicks. The shock absorber can be retrofitted with many other Wilbers accessories.

Spring preload and rebound damping adjustable. Hydraulic Preload recommended.
