The Remote Preload Adjuster can be added to many Cogent Dynamics shocks as optional equipment on many different bikes!
 
What does the Remote Preload adjuster do? 
The addition of this option gives you the convenience of optimizing your rear suspension spring preload for quick levelling (load compensation) of your bike to accommodate a passenger or luggage or to change ride characteristics based on your preferences.  
 
The adjustment, which would typically require reaching the shock in your bike (sometimes difficult to access) to turn a threaded collar using a tool. It can be easily adjusted by twisting a remote knob which uses the convenience of hydraulics to change the spring preload up to 100% (9 mm total range of preload change).
 
Will the Remote Hydraulic Preload option work on my bike? 
While the optional Preload Adjuster fits on most Cogent Dynamics shocks, there may not be enough clearance in some cases.  Please get in touch to check!
 
The control knob is connected via a hydraulic hose which is designed to be the correct length to suit a specific bike model.
 
The most common bikes we offer the Preload Adjuster for are the Kawasaki KLR 650, the Suzuki DR650, and V-Strom 650.
 
The preload adjuster can't be fitted on the shock without opening the body (NOT just removing the spring). If you plan to do your own shock maintenance or have if done in a shop, you can install the adjuster at the same time.
