Touratech comfort seat for the Harley-Davidson Pan America

Maximum comfort on long stages and optimum ergonomics in all riding situations: the two-piece Touratech comfort seat noticeably enhances the touring capability of the Harley-Davidson Pan America.

With its beefy Revolution Max 1250 engine, track-stable suspension system and generous on-board space, the Harley-Davidson Pan America is made for epic rides. But even a thoroughly successful vehicle like the Pan Am still offers plenty of scope for individualisation and optimisation.

For example, when it comes to the seat: The different statures of riders alone make a compromise in the design of standard equipment unavoidable. Not so with the Touratech comfort seat. This two-part design offers riders a choice of three different heights. And no matter which version is chosen, all the benefits of this seat, which has been manufactured with proven quality craftsmanship for more than two decades, play their part.

Seat core made of ergonomically shaped special foam
For a start, there is the high-grade core made of suitable quality foam, which is specific to the model and does not lose its shape even on the longest stages. The shape of the core is anatomically optimised. This means that not only is the contour completely free of disturbing edges but the special shaping also provides efficient relief for the coccyx and supports an upright sitting position. Thanks to the ingenious shaping of the contour, the Touratech comfort seat has a reduced inner leg curve length so that the rider’s feet reach the ground more easily although the seat height remains the same.

Seat cover with Fresh Touch technology
Through bonding the foam core and the seat cover over the entire surface, these two components are prevented from shifting independently. The result is wonderfully firm seating and optimum power transmission for precise handling. In addition, Fresh Touch technology reflects the infra-red part of sunlight, which results in up to 10 degrees less heat-up of the seat. Unlike other suppliers, Touratech has been using waterproof taped seams for more than 15 years, effectively preventing the penetration of water into the foam core.

Two-part concept with maximum compatibility
Riders opting for the Touratech comfort seat retain full use of the standard height adjustment.

And the Touratech developers have also given a lot of thought to the pillion seat. Here, too, a foam mixture is used that is particularly suitable for long stages. In addition, a modified contour effectively prevents the passenger from sliding forward, considerably increasing the comfort of riding with a partner.

The Touratech comfort seat for the Harley-Davidson Pan America is ideally used as a set, but the rider and pillion seat are also available separately and are compatible with standard components.

The new Touratech Storm rain suit

Climate membrane, lots of comfort features and extensive customisation options – with its new Storm rain suit, Touratech is taking wet weather protection on motorcycles to a new level.

Touratech has reinterpreted the classic rain suit using the latest textile technology. And for good reason: Even in the age of membrane inserts, the tried-and-tested principle of the extra outer layer is far from obsolete. Because unlike in the case of inserts, where the wetness first penetrates the suit as far as the waterproof layer, in this classic combination, the rain stays where it belongs: outside.

One might think that’s nothing new, we had that 60 years ago already. But far from it. With the Storm, Touratech merges the basic principle of the classic rain suit with the capabilities of the most modern functional clothing.

Waterproof and breathable: laminate with Hydratex technology
The robust blended fabric of the outer material is bonded with a Hydratex Lite membrane to form a completely windproof and waterproof laminate. However, the micropores of the membrane allow effective water vapour transport from the inside to the outside. This means that sweating is not an issue if you’re wearing the Touratech Storm – even during physical exertion.

This suit also has reflective sections that greatly improve the visibility of the rider in unfavourable light conditions.

Easy to put on and supremely comfortable to ride in
With its two-piece design, the Touratech Storm rain suit is much easier to put on than a classic one-piece rain suit. In addition, the large adjustable Velcro system allows it to be pulled over your boots easily and ensures a tight-fitting leg closure regardless of the type of motorcycle boot worn. Additional Velcro straps enable individual width adjustment. And last but not least, the elastic waistband adjusts perfectly to the figure of the rider.

The Storm jacket offers even more extensive adjustment options. Two Velcro closures at the waist and under the upper arms allow for precise customisation so that nothing pinches or flutters. Further Velcro fastenings at the cuffs ensure secure closure around your gloves.
Two spacious inner pockets offer sufficient waterproof storage space. And when the sun shines again, the Touratech Storm disappears into the space-saving bag provided and can be conveniently stowed away.

The Touratech Storm rain suit is available in black with neon yellow sections in six sizes from S to 3XL. Jacket and trousers can be purchased separately.

Offroad prototype Touratech R 1250 GS RR

With the radical prototype R 1250 GS RR, Touratech shows the off-road potential of BMW‘s current boxer GS. Equipped with a 21-inch front wheel, electronic suspension and protector set, the “RR” has already proven itself in demanding terrain

Extremely versatile and really good in all disciplines – with this recipe for success, the current generation of the Boxer-GS has dominated the top class of touring enduros for over 40 years. The Touratech Suspension Team and the developers at Touratech have now been tempted to turn the generalist into a specialist and to exploit the maximum off-road potential of the current GS. The result: the spectacular Touratech R 1250 GS RR.

Off-road without compromise
Indispensable for directional stability in difficult terrain, a 21-inch front wheel forms the heart of this radical off-road conversion. The Touratech team with Lars Würdemann as suspension specialist stored for this a high-strength Excel rim with the original hub. „Since we spoke inwards – as on a Sportenduro – and the nipples had to sit on the rim, we needed special adapters for the hub. That was a lot of work, but the enormous stiffness of the 21-inch front wheel proved us right,“ says Würdemann, describing the challenges.

Standard components complete the enduro concept
As suspension elements, Touratech relies on the latest generation of electronic components from the Touratech Suspension Plug & Travel EVO range in the extra-long version for the R 1250 GS RR. These special shocks are available for the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure or the R 1250 GS with sports suspension in the same configuration on request for end customers. The premium suspension elements in the touring setup are available immediately from the web store.

Numerous other parts from the extensive Touratech product range round off the off-road prototype. The adjustable shift and foot brake levers allow perfect adaptation to the standing driving style. Folding levers for the front brake and clutch minimize the risk of breakage, and the handlebar fittings are given solid protection by the high-strength aluminium brackets of the Defensa protectors.

To achieve the smallest possible overall width for narrow passages, the off-road pros dispensed the engine guard and instead relied on the Touratech aluminium valve cover protectors. The underside of the Boxer is protected from damage by the „Rally“ engine guard made of hydroformed aluminium.

Proven in practice
After extensive testing by the suspension team and use in scouting the Adventure Country Tracks UK (ACT UK) by Touratech CMO Martin Wickert, Touratech put the R 1250 GS RR in the hands of Kevin Gallas. The hard enduro specialist, who has taken out top placings on numerous extreme enduros and has also successfully conquered the legendary Erzberg, took part in the Transitalia Marathon (TIM) with the conversion.

For the tricky navigation through the mountains of the Apennines, the RR received a navigation tower equipped with roadbook holder, tripmaster and GPS device. Kevin was more than enthusiastic about the performance of the GS conversion: „In the off-road area, the front wheel and the road grip were great to assess, and you had great reserves even at high speeds and jumps, as well as on off-road sections and in stone fields,“ sums up the enduro crack.

Valuable findings for the series
The Touratech R 1250 GS RR will remain an unsellable one-off that will be used at selected events. The experience gained will benefit Touratech customers in the form of the semi-active suspension elements in the Touratech Suspension Plug & Travel EVO range and numerous other products available immediately.

Touratech Aventuro Traveller Carbon with new décor variant

Touratech Aventuro Traveller Carbon with new décor variant.

With its synthesis of flip-up and offroad helmet, the Aventuro Traveller offers travellers the maximum in functionality and comfort. This premium helmet is now available in two exciting new décor variants.

Red, white, blue – these three colours evoke associations with legendary desert races for rally fans. They conjure up memories of the unforgotten Gilles Lalay’s Honda XL 600 or the NRX750 ridden by Neveu and Orioli, not to forget Auriol’s winning Boxer with the discreet stripe in BMW motorsport colours on its impressive tank or – not so long ago – Nani Roma’s 900RR. And in the modern era of adventure bikes, the HP2 ridden by the flying Finn, Simo Kirssi. No matter what the brand or era, the combination of these three colours stands for clarity, focus and an unconditional will to win.

The new “Sport” décor of the Touratech Aventuro Traveller Carbon continues this great tradition. This design combines the iconic colours with the cleanness of contemporary graphic language. In this attractive outfit, the Touratech Aventuro Traveller not only matches numerous current touring suits perfectly but also the many colour combinations of adventure bikes from a wide range of manufacturers.

“Sunrise” is the name of the second new décor for the Aventuro Traveller. Powerful sunshine yellow contrasts with striking rock grey and classic black. This variant is tailor-made for motorcyclists who appreciate elegant understatement. The discreet graphics emphasise the powerful shapes of the helmet shell and, in their technical reduction, reflect the uncompromising functionality of the Aventuro Traveller.

While the “Sunrise” décor sets a striking accent in combination with classic black rider equipment, it is the logical choice for complementing the grey-yellow design of the Compañero suits from Touratech.

The Touratech Aventuro Traveller Carbon
The Aventuro Traveller is an innovative modular helmet made of ultra-light carbon, specially designed to meet the demands of adventure tours. Even when wearing gloves, its chin section can be easily unlocked and flipped up.

The clear visor, which is easy to operate thanks to its central locking system, has a Pinlock™ anti-fog inner surface, which ensures optimum visibility even in unfavourable weather conditions. When the sun is low in the sky, a fold-down visor protects the eyes.
Helmet peak and air inlets are matched for maximum airflow around the head. There is a large, closable air inlet in the chin section for cooling the face.

The skin-friendly Coolmax™ lining can be removed for washing, as can the neck and cheek pads. The quick-release fastener of the chin strap is particularly easy to use and extremely robust thanks to its stainless steel components.

When developing the EPS dome of the Touratech Aventuro Traveller Carbon, not only were the needs of spectacle wearers taken into account but all the necessary cut-outs for the integration of communication systems were provided as well.

In addition to the new Sport and Sunrise versions, a black version of the Touratech Aventuro Traveller Carbon is also available. All helmet sizes from XS to 3XL are available for 679 Euro.

Opulent fittings
No matter what the configuration when out on a ride, the Touratech Aventuro Rambler’s enormous range of equipment and its many clever detail solutions will convince even the most demanding motorcyclists.

Four adjustable air inlets and four air outlets, easily adjustable with gloves, provide optimal ventilation. The removable chin wind protection and the special off-road air inlet further increase the air supply for off-road riding.

The Coolmax™ inner padding is skin-friendly and can be removed and washed. The Ergo Padding System allows the helmet to be adjusted to the wearer’s individual head shape by means of several foam padding strips.

The adjustable shield offers the best sun protection, with the wearer gaining additional glare protection from the intuitively operated sun visor. The three-dimensional moulded visor ensures optimum visibility in all weather conditions. It has a scratch-resistant coating and is designed to enable quick mounting of the included Pinlock™ visor.

Maximum safety
Maximum safety is guaranteed by the high-strength fibreglass helmet shell. This shell is manufactured in three sizes so that the optimum ratio of the EPS dome to the helmet size can be realised in each case. Easy-to-remove emergency straps facilitate helmet removal for first responders. Equipped with the particularly secure double D-ring fastener, this helmet complies with the latest standards according to ECE and DOT.

New decor variant, Sunbeam
In addition to the popular black and yellow colour combinations, there is now an additional decor variant, the “Sunbeam” design, where bright yellow contrasts with design elements in calm grey and black.

The Touratech Aventuro Rambler is available in seven sizes from XS to 3XL.
