Bitubo - suspension options for the CBR 1000 RR-R
You wouldn't have thought that a much anticipated new Superbike like the CBR 1000 RR-R could possibly have its suspension improved, but never underestimate the ability of the European parts and accessory industry to "take it to another level".

| ECH |
Italian suspension specialist Bitubo has a complete replacement kit for the 'Triple R', with its ECH pressurised cartridge described as containing "a series of innovative systems resulting from a long development experience in collaboration with some of the best teams who participated in WSBK, British Superbike, IDM and the Italian Speed Championship".
"The aim is always to provide the rider with maximum stability at the front axle, increase grip through the curves and allow uniform tyres as a result of the instant control of the applied forces we can deliver". Specific caps for the Bitubo ECH cartridges are available on request.

| XXB1 |
The XXF11 rear shock absorber with manual spring preload and XXF31 rear mono shock with hydraulic spring preload are an evolution of prior designs that feature an aluminium body for reduced weight and an upgraded new set-up and upgrade in terms of greater functionality and ease of adjustment of the length and the spring preload.
The 14 mm stem is said to increase smoothness, while the 30 mm piston reduces the fluid masses in motion for a faster response to stresses. "All the improvements are aimed at achieving the reduction of inertia, and therefore an immediate control of suspension oscillations. Particular attention has been paid to the increase in sensitivity and precision of the adjustments, now all positioned in the top cartridge".

| XXF11 |
Aimed at the most demanding riders and conditions, the XXFB1 rear monoshock is the "extreme version" of the XXF, with a stem that has been treated for long-term stable performance.
"Precision, speed and lightness are the essence of this latest version" - it can be operated via a rechargeable tank with quick coupling, available separately.
