Touratech -20mm Lowering Spring Kit

BMW R1200GS LC (2017–2018) with Original BMW Dynamic ESA

Lower Your GS Without Compromising Its Character

The Touratech -20mm Lowering Spring Kit is designed specifically for the BMW R1200GS LC (2017–2018) equipped with the original BMW Dynamic ESA suspension.

By replacing the original front and rear springs, the kit lowers the motorcycle by approximately 20 mm, making it easier to reach the ground while maintaining the balanced handling characteristics of the R1200GS.

The only compromise is a slight reduction in ground clearance.

20mm Lower Seat Height

For riders looking for more confidence when stopping or maneuvering their GS at low speeds, lowering the motorcycle can make a significant difference.

Benefits:

• Approximately 20 mm reduction in ride height
• Easier reach to the ground
• Increased confidence when stopping
• Easier low-speed maneuvering
• Maintains the motorcycle's balanced handling characteristics
• Designed specifically around the original BMW suspension

A practical suspension upgrade for riders who find the standard R1200GS ride height challenging.

Progressive Spring Performance

The Touratech progressive springs are specifically matched to the original suspension components of the BMW R1200GS LC.

Performance Features:

• Progressive spring characteristics
• Good response during normal riding
• Additional reserves in demanding situations
• Designed to maintain stability and control
• Front and rear springs developed to work together
• Motorcycle balance remains intact

Rather than lowering only one end of the motorcycle, the complete front and rear setup maintains a properly balanced chassis.
