It can be installed by bolt-on, and can be lowered by about 15mm.
It has been featured in Boxer Journal and BMW BIKES, and R's gear has received a lot of inquiries.Does it really improve footing?Most of the inquiries are such asFirst of all, there are three general methods of lowering the vehicle.
1. Replacement of torque rod
2. Seat processing
3. Suspension processing
All of the methods have their own effects, but replacing the torque rod is a relatively easy way to improve the footing because you only need to buy the parts and bolt them on.
In addition, the question is: "How much does a 15mm reduction in vehicle height improve the vehicle's footing?If thinking of it as, it is hard to imagine how much it actually improves.So, to put it plainly, if you think of it as "when you put your foot on the ground, your toes will go down to the base of your toes", you will feel much more secure.
Frequently Asked Questions about Lowdown Torque Rods.
Doesn't it have any disadvantages on the vehicle body or riding?r's gear also gets this question a lot.There are two main bad points that are often asked by users.
1. If the rear goes down, don't you need to adjust the front projection?
2. Will forcing the paralever (swingarm) joint to change its bend affect the drive shaft?
With a difference of 15mm, you can go from standing on your toes to standing at the base of your toes.
First, an explanation of 1.As you know, BMW has its own suspension structure called "Telelever" and "Paralever" which is different from Japanese vehicles (*You can read more about Telelever and Paralever on Virgin BMW website). Even if the balance between the front suspension and the rear suspension changes a little, it is difficult to be affected.Adding lowering torque rods does not affect the front protrusion enough to change it.
It's easy to see how this would not affect the performance of a pillion with a full load of luggage.Especially, the posture change at the time of acceleration is much more stable than the stock suspension, and there is no adverse effect by installing the low down torque rod.
Further benefits: "Improved ground contact and stability of the front and rear tires during cornering, and improved straight-line stability.
As a result of actual riding test conducted by Mr. HIWATASHI, it was found that the feeling of contact between front and rear tires was improved and the stability during cornering was greatly improved when the low down torque rod was installed (on-road riding).Since then, Hiwata's Adventure, which does not need to be lowered, has always been equipped with low down torque rods.In the case of Mr. HIWATASHI, he has a high seat and a low down torque rod installed, which is a bit of a contradiction (lol), but it has such a great effect.
Because the change is within the movable range of the drive shaft joint, there is no adverse effect on the vehicle body.
Next is the explanation of 2.It is true that the bend angle of the joint of the paralever is slightly different because the torque rod is shorter than the stock one.In the picture, it is installed on R1200GS Adventure, but in the case of GS, if you install the low down torque rod, the drive shaft will be closer to the straight line than the stock one.
For other types of vehicles, it is designed within the range of movement of the universal joint of the drive shaft, so there is no bad influence by installing it.(The angle of this part varies slightly from model to model in the same R1200 series).
Make the most of the features of your BMW for a more fulfilling BMW life.
As the name "Lowdown Torque Rods" suggests, this product is designed for lowering, but the shortened length of the torque rod gives you a big advantage besides the footing.Please try to experience the difference.
If you are a BMW owner, please feel free to ask R's gear about not only the low down torque rod but also the seat lowering.
