Combining the Most Advanced Technology of ADVANTAGE & SHOWA: REAR SHOCK ABSORBER RS-γ/RS

Customized Motorcycle

Joint development of the world's strongest rear suspension, thoroughly tested over 100,000 times

ADVANTAGE's "RS Series" suspension, developed in collaboration with SHOWA, is a high quality rear suspension that considers the details from every angle, including safety on the street and on the race track. And now this suspension has been completely renewed. While maintaining the high-strength forged aluminum body, the pistons and other internal structures have been greatly improved and the suspension oil has been upgraded to the works level. In addition, a newly developed high-strength titanium nitrite coating (dark-purple color) has been applied to the rods, and the quality of oil seals has been improved to achieve a significant reduction in friction loss. In addition to the RS-γ which utilizes a hydraulic spring adjuster for smooth movement, the reasonably priced "RS" model with an orthodox machined aluminum adjuster has been newly added to the lineup, attracting much attention.

The reasonably-priced "RS" offers RS Series performance with an orthodox machined aluminum adjuster. This suspension provides excellent footwork.

■Damper adjustment is possible on the rebound and compression sides. The factory default setting for the rebound side (right photo) is step 14 (out of a total 30 steps). The compression side (left photo) is set at step 11 (out of a total 20 steps).

Two types of adjusters: Hydraulic and Manual

The "RS-γ" (photo on the left) uses a hydraulic spring adjuster that is known for its smooth movement. The "RS" (on the right), which uses a machined aluminum adjuster, is also available at the request of users.

What are the main features of the RS Series?

The body of the RS Series is made of traditional high-strength forged aluminum. The internal structure, including the pistons, has been greatly improved, and works-level suspension oil has been adopted. In addition, high quality oil seals and high-strength titanium nitrite coating (dark-purple color) on the rods have been used to significantly reduce friction. In addition to the smooth hydraulic spring adjuster "RS-γ," the orthodox aluminum adjuster "RS" is newly available.
