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.
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.
Touratech brings two proven classics from its range of gloves in elegant black. The technical touring glove Guardo Rambler GTX and the summer glove Guardo Desert+ are now “Back in Black”.
Guardo Rambler GTX
The Touratech Guardo Rambler GTX is a 3-season glove with numerous sophisticated technical features. The waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex membrane is complemented by Gore Grip technology, which guarantees a secure grip and excellent tactility. The pre-forming of the glove also adds to this, allowing your fingers to rest, completely relaxed, on the handlebar grips.
The short cuffs are made of 4-way stretch material to give optimal freedom of movement.
Safety is also a top priority for this generously equipped glove. The palm protector is made of shock-absorbing SEESOFT™ Memory Foam, which effectively reduces impact energy in the case of a fall. It is embedded in highly abrasion-resistant TPU, ensuring that the glove glides across the asphalt, should your hand come into contact with it – which significantly reduces the risk of injury. On the back of the hand, hard-shell knuckle protectors made of thermoplastic polyurethane provide the necessary protection. And last but not least, there is the extremely abrasion-resistant goatskin on the palm. For the 2023 season, the Guardo Rambler GTX is available in elegant black.
Available in eight sizes from 6 to 13. Item no.: 515-1520/515-1527 Further information
Guardo Desert+
Adventure riders love it, the Guardo Desert+ summer glove. And you don’t even have to go on a desert expedition to experience all the advantages of these lightweight gloves. In summer weather, they pay off everywhere in the world.
Although wonderfully ventilated, the Guardo Desert+ still offers excellent protection. The palm is made of highly abrasion-resistant goat nappa leather and the edges of the hand are reinforced with Superfabric®. There are also padded inserts on the fingers and knuckle protection. And then there’s the leather trim on the polyester back of the hand. Parallel to the popular grey/yellow colour scheme, the Guardo Desert+ is now also available completely in black!
Available in six sizes from XS to 3XL. Item no.: 500-2093/500-2098 Further information

With the completely new “Touring” series, Touratech is responding to the desire of many motorcycle travellers for a no-frills and highly functional soft luggage set.
This is an impressive luggage set featuring high-quality materials, excellent workmanship and practice-oriented detail solutions.
With a focus on functionality and maximum practical benefit, Touratech has developed the new “Touring” soft luggage range. The requirements of tour riders in their everyday travel life were at the centre of the conception.
Quality and functionality
The excellent workmanship and the high-quality Cordura® ensure that the products in the “Touring” range will be long-lasting travel companions. The material has a high-quality feel, and due to the water-repellent treatment a few drops of rain won‘t harm the contents. For rides in prolonged precipitation, there is an optional rain cover. Integrated almost invisibly into the design during the day, the luminous reflective applications provide a clear plus in safety in the dark. Robust and durable zips round off the high-quality features of the new Touring series.
Comprehensive range from front to rear
Currently, the new soft luggage range includes the Touring tank bag, specially designed for adventure bikes, which offers an enormous range of functions. Its smaller brother, the Touring MIDI tank bag, fits universally on virtually every motorcycle thanks to its compact shape. Specially designed for mounting on the auxiliary luggage racks of adventure bikes such as the BMW GS models or the Adventure range from KTM, the Touring tail rack bag offers easily accessible, additional storage space. Smaller items of equipment that need to be ready at hand can be stored in the pockets for the BMW R 1200 / 1250 GS crash bar extensions. Also exclusive to the big boxers are the Touring side bags for the frame triangle, which cleverly create additional storage space. GS riders wishing to accommodate even more equipment will find the Touring side bags on the luggage rack useful travel companions.

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.

With a whole bundle of advanced technologies, the Destino Ultimate GTX waterproof motorcycle boot targets adventure riders with the highest demands for comfort and safety.
Take the comfort of a touring boot, the safety of a sports boot and the robustness of an MX boot – the result is the Touratech Destino Ultimate GTX. This unique motorcycle boot, developed by the clothing specialists at REV’IT!, combines innovative technologies in a completely new concept.
In keeping with the innovative technologies, the unmistakable design of this high-end boot skilfully combines the look and feel of state-of-the-art materials with the design language of classic offroad boots.
Protection and mobility
Maximum protection for offroad use is provided by the Dynamic Support Frame (DSF) with its three components: calf support, heel cup and stability frame. Overstretching of muscles and tendons is effectively prevented by this ingenious design, while the integrated joint guarantees optimal mobility.
To also protect the foot from impacts, the DSF cooperates closely with the reinforced toe area, the SEESOFT™ protector insert in the tongue, and the shin plate.
BOA Fit closure system: Robustness and comfort
The BOA Fit system opens up a new dimension in closure convenience. This innovative lacing technology combines the perfect fit of the boot with extremely fast closing and opening. Just press the button to activate, turn it until the boot fits perfectly – and then simply pull the button up to release.
The BOA Fit closure system is characterised by its extraordinary robustness, which makes it the superior solution even for tough offroad use. The entire lacing area is also covered so that dust and mud are effectively kept out.
Specially developed Vibram sole
The Apex® sole, developed together with Vibram, offers functionality and comfort not only when riding but also when walking. It has different zones to fulfil different requirements. One area is specifically optimised for operating the foot brake lever, while another is responsible for providing strength and still others ensure the best possible walking comfort.
Waterproof thanks to Gore-Tex
Under the intelligent upper material mix of high-strength SuperFabric®, robust Omega leather, and supple nubuck, a Gore-Tex membrane guarantees absolute waterproofness with simultaneous breathability.
The microfibre lining, which ensures rapid moisture transport, also makes an important contribution to a pleasant foot climate.
The OrthoLite® X40 insole made of open-pored PU foam combines high cushioning values with the best breathability and can be washed when necessary.
Made in Europe, this premium Touratech Destino Ultimate GTX boot is certified to the highest possible level for motorcycle protective equipment EN 13634:2017 Level 2.
The Destino Ultimate GTX is available in nine sizes from 39 to 47 at Touratech support points and in the online shop.
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.
The new Harley-Davidson Pan America is nothing less than a milestone in the company’s history.
Up until now, the Motor Company has never developed a vehicle specifically for offroad use.
Scouting the Adventure Country Track across the Pyrenees, the Touratech test team ascertained that the Pan America is indeed a serious player in this sector. And it’s no wonder that numerous concepts for accessories ideal for adventures big and small were born out of this tough ride.
Protectors for comprehensive protection
The Pan America provided an open flank in terms of vehicle protection in offroad use. The developers saw great potential, in terms of remedying the danger to the engine from flying stones and impacts and providing fall protection for radiators, tank and bodywork, and developed solutions. Comprehensive protection is provided through the combination of the Expedition engine guard and the crash bars. The protector package is rounded off by radiator and manifold guards, as well as headlight protectors, with versions available in either metal or Makrolon.
Versatile luggage solutions
For transporting luggage on the Pan Am, Touratech has created the exclusive, specially designed ZEGA Evo X “Premium Edition” system. In addition to the two aluminium panniers made of black anodised aluminium – one of which is recessed to fit snugly around the exhaust – this set includes a black-coated stainless steel rack, two high-quality inner bags and a complete set of locks.
Smaller items of equipment that need to be quickly accessible can be stored in the waterproof, super-durable EXTREME Edition tank bag. And of course, the Touratech developers have also thought of a rack to hold the tried and tested ZEGA topcases.
Attention to detail
Smart details, such as the anti-theft guard for the TFT, the side stand base extension, the comfortable long-distance foot pegs or the mounting adapter for navigation devices, are the direct result of practical travel experience.
With these parts from Touratech, the Harley-Davidson Pan America is ideally equipped for any adventure between Milwaukee and Madagascar.
Its versatile concept allows the Aventuro Rambler to be adapted to the most varied conditions of use.
Now, the brand new “Sunbeam” variant expands the choice of decors for this superbly equipped multi-purpose helmet.
The Touratech Aventuro Rambler lives up to its name – it’s made to travel. And that onroad as well as offroad. In the blazing summer heat and, if need be, in autumn drizzle: This helmet offers its wearer maximum comfort and optimum protection against any of the conditions met in everyday motorcycle life.
Versatile concept
Behind the incredible versatility of the Aventuro Rambler lies a sophisticated concept that allows it to be adapted to a wide variety of uses. It can be transformed from a hybrid helmet into an airy cross helmet or a streamlined road helmet with very little effort. And that all without any tools at all.
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.
High-quality workmanship, available at a favourable price and suitable for the A2 driving licence – the KTM 390 Adventure is the perfect introduction to the world of adventure bikes.
With tailor-made accessories from Touratech, this easy-to-handle machine can be optimally equipped for journeys near and far.
For almost 25 years, adventure bikes from Mattighofen have proven that the model designation “Adventure” is not a marketing gimmick, but an honest commitment. Since the legendary 620, the Austrians have continued to develop their adventure models with great seriousness, and currently offer six models ranging from 390 to 1290 cubic centimetres.
Perfect base for adventurous tours
Even the entry-level model, the KTM 390 Adventure, provides the perfect basis for having fun on adventurous excursions: a feisty engine, solid spring elements and agile handling. If you are planning to ride the small Adventure off-road or on a longer trip, however, this is where Touratech parts come into play – extra-robust, well-engineered and tested over thousands of kilometres of trails.
Wide range of luggage systems
The Touratech range for the KTM 390 Adventure starts with the robust ZEGA aluminium pannier system, which is attached to an indestructible 18×2 steel tube rack. Several pannier sizes and designs are available. For even more storage space, there is the ZEGA Topcase, mounted to make it trail-proof on a rack with a quick-release fastener. Then there are the tank bags from the Ambato series. Depending on space requirements, there are three variants of this proven line to choose from.
Rugged parts for heavy use
When the going gets rough, the extra-rugged stainless steel engine crash bars come into play, offering effective protection in off-road use. Protectors are also available for the headlight as well as the rear ABS sensor. Also highly recommended for off-road riding are the folding foot brake lever and the folding rear view mirrors.
And last but not least, the 25 millimetre handlebar riser demonstrates its strengths on long stretches that demand a standing rider position. The handlebars are more comfortable to hold, and the rider’s position is much more upright. A better line of sight and less fatigue are the rewards of this small modification.
Wherever you plan to go with the KTM 390 Adventure – accessories from Touratech get the most out of this machine’s great potential.
In the design of the KTM 890 Adventure engine guard, Touratech relies on the synthesis of two different concepts: An ultra-rugged, folded skid plate is complemented by hydroformed aluminium lateral protectors.
The KTM 890 Adventure is currently one of the sportiest adventure bikes on the market. A twin that is even more powerful than its predecessor model with adventure-oriented characteristics, low weight, as well as fully adjustable suspension elements with long working travel, form the basis of this well thought-through concept. Especially the “R” model variant of the 890 Adventure is just begging to be ridden in sporty style through demanding terrain. Touratech has developed a high-quality range of protectors to ensure that off-road use does not result in any injuries.
The heart piece is the Rally Evo engine guard. Touratech has adapted this engine guard, which was completely redesigned for the previous model, to the current KTM 890 Adventure. For the first time, a three-part construction, consisting of a base plate and two lateral tank protectors, has been used for this protector, which is as robust as it is stylish.
Clever synthesis of two concepts
The base plate, also called skid plate in off-road sports, is made of a high-strength aluminium alloy. For its production, Touratech relies on folding technology, proven in tens of thousands of engine guards, which gives the workpiece additional strength due to its bend-resistant edges. All welding is done by robots to ensure the highest precision.
The lateral tank protectors, on the other hand, are manufactured using the hydroforming process. This technology, in which the aluminium sheet is formed in a tool, using extreme water pressure, enables a complex three-dimensional design allowing the aluminium parts to fit closely to the tank and at the same time have an attractive appearance.
All-round protection and maximum compatibility
The “Rally Evo” engine guard for the KTM 890 effectively offers 360-degree protection for this two-cylinder. The extra-long skid plate provides full protection from the manifolds at the front of the engine to the catalytic converter. A stainless steel reinforcement in the rear part provides additional lateral support. Even severe impacts on rock edges and heavy stones are parried by the “Rally Evo” without complaint.
The tank protectors, which are pulled far up at the sides, reliably cover not only the fuel tank itself, but also the fuel pump and fuel taps.
The frontal intake opening has been retained for effective engine cooling, but can be covered with optionally available grilles to protect against stone chips if required.
Neither ground clearance nor operability of the foot levers are restricted, thanks to the “Rally Evo’s” close-to-the-vehicle lines, and combination with Touratech crash bars is also possible.
The latest version of the Touratech Connect smartphone app offers a veritable plethora of new functions.
Its use as a real-time display is complemented by extensive analysis, export and sharing features. In addition, the application is now available for numerous other motorbike models.
The smartphone has established itself as an indispensable communication centre in the motorcycle cockpit. Touratech Connect, the new combination of app and hardware component transforms your smartphone into a freely configurable real-time display that provides the rider with a wealth of neatly structured data.
Touratech Connect reads the data from the vehicle’s own sensors directly from the CAN bus and transmits it to the smartphone via an easy-to-pair Bluetooth connection.
Fine tuning and new features
With the latest version of Touratech Connect, on the one hand existing functions have been further improved. It is now possible, for example, to not only display the maximum lean angles comprehensively, but to also differentiate between left-hand and right-hand curves. Certainly a useful feature for fine tuning your own riding technique.
On the other hand, the app has received a lot of additional functions. Particularly interesting is the route tracking, which goes far beyond recording the distance travelled. Tracking starts with every activation of the app. The high-resolution track can be visualised on a map and – here comes the highlight – the recorded parameters can be visualised for each point. By linking vehicle and geodata in this way, the performance of bike and rider can be precisely assigned to specific riding situations on the track.
Points along the route can also be accessed via a slider that corresponds to the timeline of the journey. The GPS module of the smartphone is used for tracking, which also records the altitude. This function can be deactivated at any time.
Sharing with the community
Another new feature is the ability to share data. The user selects a specific data type, for example the switching profile on a track, and can share the corresponding graph along with a map representation of the associated track. This is done via either email, Facebook or Instagram. The format of the screenshot can be adjusted depending on the selected social network.
Even more practical relevance
In response to a frequently expressed request from the beta testers, the Touratech programmers have created the deactivatable “Remember PIN” function so that the user no longer has to re-enter their code after every app start.
Another practical new feature is the ability to export all app data. This means that all determined values are also immediately available on a new smartphone as soon as they have been imported.
Numerous other detailed improvements in data collection and presentation, such as the possibility of labelling data fields, round off this huge range of functions.
Last but not least, Touratech Connect is now available for even more motorbike models. This means that the app now works with all BMW boxer models from model year 2015 onwards. Touratech Connect is available for iOS and Android operating systems. Existing customers will simply receive the new functions free of charge via an update.
New Touratech Connect features
• Route tracking incl. GPX export
• Display of the route on continuously zoomable and rotatable map
• Altitude recording
• Visualisation of data in descriptive graphs
• Sharing of tracks and data via email and social media
• “Remember PIN” function
• Extensive import and export functions
• Switchable labelling of the data fields
• Available for numerous motorbike models
High-quality shock absorbers and replacement springs to update the original equipment – with the new E1 series, Touratech Suspension provides the material for suspension upgrades at a favourable price. And that for an incredibly extensive range of over 400 models.
The performance of the standard suspension on every motorcycle deteriorates after a few years. At first barely noticeable, minor malfunctions start making themselves felt. When braking hard, the machine dips lower, high-speed stability decreases and load changes during sporty cornering become more noticeable. High time for a suspension upgrade.
Suspension tuning from sports bikes to youngtimers
With the E1 product range, Touratech Suspension has what it takes for used motorcycles to regain excellent suspension performance. And this for an incredibly wide range of machines. Cutting-edge street bikes and adventure bikes are just as well catered for as youngtimers and classic bikes.
Shock absorbers and replacement springs
To accommodate this wide range of motorcycles, the E1 series includes mono shocks as well as twin shocks. The E1 series also provides replacement spring sets for the fork and the original shock absorber. The stepless progressively wound springs combine sensitive response with high puncture resistance.
But Touratech Suspension E1 is much more than just a replacement. These high-quality suspension elements are the introduction to the world of professional suspension optimisation and feature very convincing performance data far above the series standard.
For a variety of models, replacement spring sets are also available for lowering the vehicle.
Solidly designed suspension springs exhibiting the best workmanship
Base parts milled from the solid and a generously dimensioned damper rod made of 16 millimetre thick chrome-molybdenum steel form the basis for top performance. A generously designed damper tube ensures optimum heat dissipation so that the temperature balance of the damper remains stable even under heavy use.
Rebound damping of the shock absorbers can be adjusted very finely over the wide range of 50 clicks. Thanks to the progressive spring, the E1 series shocks offer a smooth response coupled with stable riding characteristics. The preload of the spring can be adjusted manually.
All components of the E1 suspension elements are given a high-quality surface treatment, which not only guarantees safe function and exceptional durability, but also gives the spring elements a high-class look.
The E1 series spring elements are manufactured in Europe and come with a two-year “worry-free” warranty. All products have a general operating permit (ABE).
E1 rounds off the portfolio
Touratech Suspension already offers the specialised product ranges Travel for adventure bikes and dual bikes as well as Black-T for custom bikes, scramblers and new heritage bikes. With the E1 series, the portfolio has been greatly expanded and covers the entire range of the most varied motorcycle categories. Further information can be found in our Webshop

The luggage plate XL for the Yamaha T7 offers solo travellers the perfect solution for safely stowing even extra-large rack packs. The extremely robust aluminium plate takes over the pillion seat and luggage rack area.
It’s not only veteran travellers who know that luggage stowed on a motorcycle should be as close to the centre of gravity as possible. It therefore makes no sense for solo travellers to fix their luggage roll right at the back on a rack. Experienced riders strap their rolls to the pillion seat.
But the fastening options in this position are often limited, and the bench foam does not provide an ideal base either. For the Lonesome Rider on a Yamaha Ténéré 700, Touratech now has the perfect solution in the form of the luggage plate XL with which you can lash even the largest luggage rolls securely, with a low centre of gravity.
The luggage plate XL not only replaces the pillion seat, it provides a flat surface, reaching over the mudguard – where the luggage rack normally sits. The luggage plate XL is definitely not lacking in robustness. An aluminium adapter plate with stainless steel hooks snaps exactly into the original locking mechanism of the pillion seat. The device is locked with the standard lock, operated with the ignition key. In addition, rubber buffers ensure a play-free fit.
The actual luggage plate is made of black anodised aluminium with a sturdy thickness of four millimetres. Generous material recesses keep the weight within practical limits. The straight lines, forming an exact extension of the surface of the rider’s seat, prevent the creation of an edge so that coccyx injuries, for example during rough off-road use, are excluded.
To enable secure lashing to meet any terrain, the luggage plate XL has generously dimensioned strap eyelets. Rack packs can be attached either classically crosswise to the direction of travel or lengthwise.
The grips at the rear of the frame remain fully accessible, and there is nothing to prevent the simultaneous use of a ZEGA aluminium pannier system.
Luggage plate XL for Yamaha Ténéré 700 benefits
• Easy exchange with pillion seat
• Lock with ignition key
• Four millimetre thick aluminium
• Huge storage area
• Generous strap eyelets
• No risk of injury
• Can be used together with case system
These aerodynamically perfected Touratech windscreens for the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin are available in numerous variants for different uses and types of riders. They provide significantly improved ride comfort and an individual look.
Size, stature, seating position, riding style, off-road or on-road use – no two adventure riders are the same. Windscreen requirements are just as individual. Whereas a touring rider is looking for particularly comprehensive weather protection provided by a high screen, an ambitious off-road rider needs a clear view of the front wheel and a correspondingly low screen. For mixed use, a medium height screen can be a good compromise. And then there is the question of taste: Clear or tinted?
With its extensive range of windscreens for the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin and its sister model Adventure Sports, Touratech matches the pronounced individualism of demanding adventure riders perfectly.
No matter which screen the adventure rider chooses, Touratech top quality will be delivered. A manufacturing process unique in the industry allows Touratech to produce model-specific windscreens in complex shapes. This allows both the design language of the Honda Africa Twin to be incorporated as well as perfect aerodynamics to be realised.
Touratech windscreens are developed using the latest CAD technology and are extensively field-tested. Production is carried out by a specialised partner company in Germany. The acrylic glass used offers a high optical quality, is UV-resistant and shatter-proof.
The high manufacturing quality and the aerodynamically perfect shape guarantee optimal weather protection with minimal turbulence.

The brand new Midi tank bag completes Touratech‘s Ibarra soft luggage series. The Ibarra Midi offers an almost as extensive equipment as its larger counterpart, but is specially designed for the shorter tanks of the mid-range adventure bikes.
TheIbarra tank bags
Following the great success of the Ibarratankbag, which addresses the needs of enduro travellers with its huge amount of space, Touratech now presents the Ibarra Midi.
The IbarraMidi is shorter, so that it its perfectly on the compact tanks of the current mid-range adventure bikes such as the Yamaha T7, KTM 890 Adventure, Honda Africa Twin or the Triumph Tiger 900. Excellent i t and unrestricted freedom of movement make the Ibarra Midi a loyal companion on off-road stages as well.
It sports the same robust construction made of particularly hard-wearing and water-repellent textile fabric as its big brother, as well as the basic structure with robust base plate. It is fixed with a sophisticated strap-buckle solution and quick-release fasteners.
A generous main compartment, two zipped outer pockets and detachable map pocket of er enough volume on long tours as well. Elasticated straps with quick- release fasteners,YKK brand zips and reflective sections by 3M round of these high-quality features.
The small IbarraMini is the third version and completes the Ibarra tank bag family. The Mini its universally on any motorbike. Its volume can be expanded from four to seven litres by means of a zip, so that everything you need for short trips can be stowed on board. There is enough space in the map compartment for the map section showing the next stage. The document pocket holds important documents, and your credit card is stored in its own Velcro-fastened pocket, as secure as it is easy to reach.
TheIbarra Sport tail rack bag
The Ibarra Sport tail rack bag is available in the same quality and with the same features. Three straps, each with two buckles, together with a non-slip foam rubber underside, guarantee secure i xing on your pillion seat or luggage rack. The volume can be increased from i ve to eight litres, and there is an additional zipped pocket for small items.
TheIbarra and Ibarra Smart handlebar bags

Touratech already has an extensive range of accessories in stock for the brand new KTM 1290 Super Adventure, and numerous other parts are being developed to make this big travel enduro even fitter for touring and offroad use.
The KTM 1290 Super Adventure not only lives up to its name, it positively challenges its rider to join it in the search for great adventures. This robust V-twin offers more than enough power for long distances, while the riding modes help to ground the power safely in offroad terrain. The “R” version adds a long-stroke suspension with large 21/18-inch spoke wheels that’s just as convincing on dirt roads as it is on gritty trails – and just as capable when it comes to sporty road riding.
Riders who accept the Adventure’s challenge obtain the parts needed for unforgettable adventures, in everything from everyday life to expeditions, from Touratech.
Protector equipment for tough rides
When riding on adventurous trails, solid protector equipment is indispensable. This is why KTM has equipped the R version of the 1290 Super Adventure with a crash bar as standard; for the standard version, this robust product is available as a factory accessory. Touratech goes one better and offers an extension that also provides protection for the fairing in even the toughest conditions.
A solid engine guard is also a must for offroad riding. The tried-and-tested “Expedition” protector made of folded ultra-robust aluminium sheeting, which, thanks to the distinctive plastic rails on its underside, acts as a skid plate that makes even rock-strewn slopes lose their terror, is also available for the Super Adventure.
For the KTM 1290 Super Adventure as well, the essentials in terms of protection also include headlight protectors and hand protectors, which are of course available from Touratech in the best quality. As an option to the proven hand protector made of unbreakable plastic, the 1290 can also be fitted with the high-end Defensa protector. In this case, a super-robust, forged aluminium bracket is responsible for protecting your handlebar fittings and hands – which can be upgraded with plastic shells and spoilers to provide suitable weather protection for touring.
Protective elements for the ABS sensor and the rear brake fluid reservoir round off our range of protectors.
Luggage systems – at home on any trail
Thanks to its enormous long-distance capability, the KTM 1290 Super Adventure is predestined for epic trips. To enable the rider to stow even a large amount of luggage securely whatever the terrain, Touratech has adapted the ZEGA Evo X aluminium pannier system, which has been tried and tested ten thousand times over, to the Adventure. This “special system” makes particularly effective use of the space available by cleverly fitting the rack and panniers around the rear silencer, combining maximum volume with minimum overall width. Otherwise, everything is as before: indestructible racks made of 18-millimetre-thick stainless steel tubing, panniers made of 1.5-millimetre-thick aluminium sheet, equipped with what is probably the world’s most robust one-hand fastening system. A system with a straight standard rack is already being developed.
Even really fat rack packs, such as those used by long-distance travellers on their month-long trips, sit securely on the aluminium and stainless steel luggage rack.
And the Touratech developers have also kept those travellers in mind who appreciate the comforts of a topcase. There is a tailor-made support for the ZEGA Evo Topcase with a volume of 38 litres for the 1290 Super Adventure. Smaller items can be stowed in the Ibarra handlebar bag for easy access, or in the Ambato tail rack bag.
And of course, there is also a version of the proven Ambato EXP Rallye tank bag, adapted to the big KTM.
And last but not least, the indestructible, waterproof soft luggage solutions of the “Extreme Edition by Touratech Waterproof” series also harmonise perfectly with the new 1290 KTM
Perfect ergonomics for optimal performance
Lengthy rides also put the rider’s physical condition to the test. To prevent any sign of your performance dropping, even after many hours of riding, individually adapted motorcycle ergonomics are essential.
The biggest step forward for Adventure riders, when it comes to long-distance capability, is the Touratech one-piece comfort seat. The high-quality foam won’t sag even under continuous use, and the ergonomic design distributes the load precisely, so that strain on the rider is minimised. Currently, seat variants in three different heights are being developed.
You can achieve perfect posture and balance when standing, by combining the handlebar riser with the wide long-distance foot pegs. The Pivot Pegz articulated foot pegs provide you with additional freedom of movement on your motorcycle. The brake lever extension ensures reliable deceleration even when wearing clunky enduro boots.
Small parts, big effect
Although at first glance quite inconspicuous, it’s all the small parts, into which decades of Touratech offroad experience has flowed, that offer the decisive advantage out on the tracks. When the going gets tough, the folding, length-adjustable mirror proves its worth just as quickly as the kick stand support extension (only “R”), the stainless steel chain guard fin, the folding brake lever or the carefully assembled set of professional tools.
And so much more…
The above-mentioned products mark the beginning of the Touratech accessories range for the KTM 1290 Super Adventure. Numerous other parts are in development or already being tested.

With the new Touratech handlebar mount, your motorcycle is equipped for the Garmin Tread. For adventure bikers, this opens up completely new possibilities for navigating in difficult terrain and for tracking when riding in a group.
Precise and robust: Touratech handlebar mounts
For over 25 years, Touratech GPS mounts have set the standard in motorcycling. These products, individually developed for each navigation device, are characterised by the best device protection for offroad use, effective vibration decoupling and maximum ease of use.
Now, there is also a Touratech handlebar mount perfectly matched to the Garmin Tread. Laser-cut and CNC-bent components made of aluminium and stainless steel are synonymous with highest precision. This is the only way to guarantee the completely backlash-free mounting of the navigation device, essential for ensuring a secure fit even on long track stages that cause strong vibrations and shocks. This protects not only the device itself but also the sensitive pins of the power supply in the perfectly integrated Garmin cradle.
The ingenious mechanism of the handlebar mount is modelled on the human hand, in its mode of operation, so that the device is securely enclosed on several sides. An additional locking device secures the device against theft.
The precise mechanics allow quick and gentle insertion or removal of the Garmin Tread.
The holder also includes a routing system for the Tread’s antenna. This allows the device to be optimally positioned in the driver’s field of vision without the antenna interfering with the line of sight.
The scope of delivery includes a clamp for 12-millimetre tubes. Alternatively, the Touratech handlebar mount can be combined with the RAM ball joint system supplied together with the Tread.
Outstanding range of functions: Garmin Tread
Originally designed for power sports, the Garmin Tread is an extremely robust and versatile navigation device that even the most demanding adventure riders will appreciate.
The Tread’s case is waterproof to IPX-7 standards and is designed to meet the stringent U.S. Military Standard 810 for thermal stress and shock resistance.
The 5.5-inch display can even be operated when wearing gloves and is perfectly legible in all light conditions, from glaring sunshine to pitch darkness at night.
In addition to the standard GPS navigation functions such as routing and track navigation, the Garmin Tread has a “Group Ride Tracker”. This allows you to track up to 20 riders in a group. Predefined messages can be exchanged between the participants via radio (VHF). Depending on the terrain, it covers a range of between one and 13 kilometres.
Topographic and street maps are available for navigation, and BirdsEye satellite images can also be downloaded to the device via WLAN. iOverlander POIs are preinstalled, enabling you to navigate to numerous remote and hard-to-find locations worldwide.
The free Tread app allows you to sync multiple devices including smartphones and computers. It also enables you to obtain weather data via your smartphone or listen to music.
Linking up to InReach emergency call systems is also possible.
Garmin Tread and the Touratech handlebar mount
In combination with the Touratech handlebar mount, the Garmin Tread is a superlative navigation device for adventure riders on enterprising trips.

The Touratech Windscreen Adjustment Pro offers significantly improved weather protection and customisable aerodynamics on board the Yamaha Ténéré 700. This product is easy to install and allows you to conveniently adjust your windscreen height to any one of seven positions with one hand.
“One size fits all” sounds impressively simple, and sometimes works, but often does not do justice to the diverse demands presented by reality. This also applies to the Yamaha Ténéré 700 windscreen. The transparent shield does a respectable job, but is not totally convincing in many situations.
The Touratech Windscreen Adjustment Pro now allows you to realise the maximum of weather protection on board your T7 and still react flexibly to the requirements presented by different riding conditions.
The adjustment adapter is screwed to the original screen fixing and carries the windscreen. Made from a high-quality, black anodised, aluminium alloy, this component with its technical look harmonises perfectly with the rally look of the Ténéré cockpit. The Adjustment Pro is not solely designed for standard screens, it also works with all accessory screens that use the original fixing.
60 millimetre adjustment range
In its lowest position, the windscreen is 12 millimetres higher than standard. The height can be varied by 60 millimetres over a total of seven positions.
While the lowest position is perfect for off-road riding, where you need a view of the front wheel and generally appreciate a cooling breeze, the higher positions allow you to optimise wind protection. The individual adjustment options also allow you to adapt airflow behaviour to suit your own stature and the aerodynamic characteristics of the helmet you wear.
Convenient operation with one hand
The windscreen position is very simple to adjust. Without tools, within fractions of a second and with only one hand. Special springs together with the precisely crafted mechanism guarantee secure locking in each of the seven positions.
The steering lock remains unaffected and, using either the original bracket or Touratech brackets, navigation devices can be attached without restriction.
The Touratech Windscreen Adjustment Pro for the Yamaha T7 is easy to install and requires no registration. Available now in our Webshop or in Touratech bases.

The new Touratech toolbox allows for the convenient storage of even the most extensive assortment of on-board tools. It can be mounted either in conjunction with the engine crash bar or as a stand-alone solution.
With this new toolbox, Touratech makes the know-how gained in countless rally competitions available for the Yamaha Ténéré 700 and Honda CRF 1100 L Africa Twin. The space next to the engine can be used at last for storing on-board tools in a way that is favourable to the centre of gravity. With a volume of 3.5 litres, this box offers space for an extensive assortment of tools, a large first aid kit or a well-stocked spare parts package.
The material used is ABS, a particularly impact-resistant plastic that has proven itself in the manufacture of motorcycle helmets for decades. This toolbox is designed as a top loader, which allows convenient loading and guarantees quick accessibility. When closed, the removable lid is splash proof, so that the contents remain dry at all times, except when riding through deep water.
The Touratech toolbox is mounted at the left side of the engine with a favourable centre of gravity. Various mounting options are available. The toolbox can be mounted as a stand-alone solution using the stainless steel bracket supplied. It can also be mounted in conjunction with a Touratech crash bar already purchased. To do this, simply replace the left side of the bar with the stainless steel bracket. Last but not least, this toolbox is also available in a package together with the crash bar.
The box itself has a black finish, the stainless steel brackets are available with either an electro-polished surface or a black coating.
This toolbox is also available for mounting on the engine crash bar (BMW original accessory) of the BMW F 850 GS (item no.: 082-5610).
