Product information "Wilber shock absorber – Bobber – Type 643 Competition"
Wilber’s high-end shock absorber with compression and rebound adjustment for Triumph Bobber
The Triumph Bobber models are significantly too stiff as standard and have a shock absorber with very poor responsiveness.
This, combined with the very short suspension travel inherent to the design, results in an uncomfortable ride.
That’s why anyone who rides their Bobber a lot and values comfort should fit a decent shock absorber.
If you’re looking for an absolute top-of-the-range shock absorber that can be fine-tuned even further, the Wilbers Competition shock absorber is exactly what you need.
The shock absorber is individually tuned to your weight and delivered perfectly fitted.
The shock absorbers comewith ABE approvalfor your motorbike (so they do not need to be registered separately with the TÜV).
PLEASE NOTE: no ABE yet for Euro 5+ models:
The shock absorber also fits the current Euro 5+ models – but these are not yet included in the ABE. An ABE update is expected next season, when the model will also be listed.

TheWilbers Type 643 Competition QS shock absorbersare high-quality, top-of-the-range units offering a full range of adjustment and customisation options:
- Compression damping adjustment (high and low speed)
- Rebound damping adjustment
- Expansion tank
The spring preload (which is, of course, pre-set to the correct level) is infinitely adjustable.
The rebound and compression damping can be adjusted in 22 clicks using the rotary dial.
Radial pistons, wet guides and Teflon-guided swing bearings ensure a smooth response.
Mechanical spring preload (Wilbers X-PA)
TheX-PAallows you to adjust the spring preload – and thus the vehicle ride height – in no time at all using the supplied socket spanner. The purely mechanical adjustment mechanism is extremely lightweight and, thanks to its robustness, is ideally suited to withstanding heavy loads. The adjustment range is 15 mm.

- Rider’s weight – (including motorcycling gear)
- Luggage weight
We recommend only taking this into account if you ride with a passenger very regularly. Otherwise, we advise tuning the shock absorber perfectly for solo riding, as a shock absorber can only be optimally adjusted for one weight. - Percentage of riding done with a passenger and luggage
- Rear shock absorber setting: Comfort / Standard (our recommendation) / Sport
- Intended use: Race track / Road / Off-road
Classicbike-Raisch Tip / Accessories
- If you want an all-round good suspension set-up on your bobber, we recommend having a cartridge fitted to the fork (see accessories below the product description)
- Many bobber riders complain that the footpegs touch down too early. To address this, we offer a suspension lift kit for the shock absorber or a complete multi-part kit. Both, of course, also work in combination with the Wilbers shock absorber. See the accessories listed below the description.

Raisch Fork Cartridge Kit
CB10969.1M.1
/ RS-3
€1,049.00*
Model:
Bobber 16" / Bobber Black
RAISCH fork cartridge conversion for various Triumph Modern Classic models.
We completely convert your forks to a valve-controlled system with new fork springs (tuned to the rider’s weight). This transforms the basic standard fork – which operates partly on the old twin-tube system – into a state-of-the-art fork with a fully adjustable cartridge system. Although the Speed Twin Euro 5 models come with an upside-down fork fitted as standard, this does not actually perform very well (see various test reports in motorbike magazines). Unfortunately, the standard fork has a very stiff and sluggish set-up.
With our cartridge conversion, the fork then operates much more smoothly and responsively; the result is a significant improvement in comfort without compromising on sportiness or performance,
Both the rebound and compression damping are fully adjustable. The so-called rebound and compression damping controls the speed at which the fork compresses and extends. This means the fork can be adjusted to suit any condition – from soft to sporty and firm – simply by turning the adjusters a few times, resulting in a completely new riding experience. The adjustment range of the rebound and compression damping can truly be described as wide and effective, which is not actually the case with all forks on the market.
This conversion must be carried out by a specialist workshop with the appropriate expertise and special tools (among other things, a lathe is required for some models). We therefore offer this conversion exclusively as a complete in-house service, including all parts. You send us the two original shock tubes and we’ll return everything fully ready for fitting, complete with new oil seals and special Öhlins oil for cartridge forks.
Note regarding the Bobber / Speedmaster:On these motorbikes, fitting the cartridge extends the fork by 10 mm. This slightly improves your Triumph’s lean angle. If this is important to you, or if you require more ground clearance and lean angle, we recommend our lift kit (available under ‘Accessories’ in this product description).
The price includes fitting of the cartridge at our workshop!
If required, we can also replace the oil seals (at an additional cost)

Suspension lift for all Triumph Bobber & Speedmaster 1200 models
Are you tired of your Bobber touching down on every corner?
We know the feeling only too well: you're on a beautiful, winding road or want to whizz through an empty roundabout, and bang – your bike touches down. Sure, the Bobber is a super agile bike, but the low ground clearance makes life difficult for us, doesn't it?
We have the solution for you!
That's why we developed a suspension lift for the Triumph Bobber and Speedmaster. With our Race-Bobber, we wanted to be able to take corners and roundabouts more freely, without constantly having to think about touching down. Now you can finally move your machine the way it deserves!
The lift is simply mounted in place of the original strut – uncomplicated and effective.
Your advantages at a glance:
30 mm higher footrestsMore ground clearance means fewer worries at angles. Your Bobber or Speedmaster will touch down much later.
35 mm higher seatThis ensures a more dynamic driving experience and more control.
Easy assembly
With the included assembly instructions and a little technical understanding, the installation can be done in 1 to 1.5 hours. You don't need a professional workshop – you can do it yourself!
Our recommendation: get the suspension in tip-top shape!
If you want to get even more out of your bobber, we recommend that you also upgrade the suspension. With a new shock absorber and a fork cartridge, you are perfectly equipped for more riding fun and safety – even when riding in a sporty style. You can find the matching parts directly from us in the accessories section.
Want even more ground clearance?
No problem! We also have our CNC-milled aluminum high footrests, which give you up to 4cm more ground clearance at the footpegs.You can find the footrests among the accessories below this description.

Lifting kit for your Triumph Bobber – 4 cm more ground clearance for the footrests
Who hasn't experienced this? With the Triumph Bobber, the footrests hit the ground far too early. The rider and machine could do more – but the footrests are in the way.
With our Lifting Kit, this problem is a thing of the past. Your Bobber gets noticeably more lean angle and can finally be ridden sportily without the footrests constantly touching the asphalt.
What is included in the kit?
CNC-milled high footrests
Lift kit for the rear shock absorber
Lift kit for the front fork
All parts have been developed by Classicbike-Raisch and are of the highest quality. In addition to the improved functionality, the set also enhances the look of your bobber.
Installation & scope of delivery
All necessary installation materials and detailed instructions are included.
Installation time: approx. 3 hours – easily achievable by experienced mechanics.Installation tips for raising the forks:
Classicbike-Raisch recommendation: Order our plastic tool to fit the milled caps without scratches or blemishes (see accessories).
Note on the original forks:
To remove the original fork caps, the fork bridge usually has to be removed.
With our special plastic socket, this can be done without dismantling the fork bridge – saving time and effort!
Not everyone has a 36 mm socket in their toolbox – we have the solution.
Additional information
The individual parts of the kit can also be found in the accessories in this product description. If you would like more details on the individual components, you can take a look at the respective product descriptions.
Öhlins shock absorber Bobber / Speedmaster

From
€729.00*
Öhlins shock absorber for the Triumph Bobber / Bobber Black & Speedmaster with adjustable rebound damping.
Customised to your weight!
The original shock absorber on the Bobber and Speedmaster is simply far too hard and very uncomfortable (it also has no negative suspension travel). To avoid getting hit in the back with every small bump (which happens very quickly with the sitting position / body posture on the motorbike in conjunction with a bad shock absorber), you need to replace your shock absorber.
The shock absorber is supplied with ABE. It therefore does not have to be registered with the TÜV.
The shock absorber is customised to your weight and delivered with a perfect fit.Production time approx. 1-2 working days (provided the shock absorber is in stock)
About the shock absorber
The Öhlins shock absorber is a high-quality separating piston damper and not an emulsion damper, as sold by some other manufacturers.The spring preload (which is of course adjusted to your weight) is infinitely adjustable via the thread.The rebound can be individually and very finely adjusted via the rotary wheel (clicks).
Shock absorber customised to you
Each Öhlins shock absorber is individually adjusted in-house to the rider's needs and weight and fitted with the appropriate setup.We have different spring rates available from Öhlins so that the shock absorber can be perfectly customised for you.
It is therefore important that you tellus your weight and riding requirements (ready to ride with clothing) when ordering (in the comments field in the last step of the ordering process).
Classicbike-Raisch tip / accessories
If you want an all-round good suspension on your Bobber, we recommend having a Cartidge installed in the fork (see accessory products below the product description)
Many Bobber riders complain that the footrests touch down too early. We offer a suspension lift for the shock absorber or a complete kit consisting of several parts. Both also work in combination with the Wilbers shock absorber. See accessories below the description.
