I chose to install the @tfxsuspension 140 mono shock-absorber, which has a single gas-charged tube. It comes with an internal floating piston to separate the gas and oil. It’s got the same technology in it as the more sophisticated versions, but the difference is that it doesn’t include a compression reservoir. Thus no option for adjusting between high and low-speed compression. It’s specifically designed for recreational use and long-distance touring.

It’s got two adjustment rings to set the spring preload depending on if you’re riding alone, with a passenger or with luggage. My original ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) no longer works, but to be honest, I never used it anyway (I couldn’t feel the difference between those modes). All TFX shock absorbers are custom made and built according to your specifications. My bike is set up now precisely the way it should be for the weight it carries.

Handling, braking and ride comfort are improved, and deep holes at high speed are no longer a worry. This modification has been the most important one I’ve made. Thumbs up for TFX Suspension Technology 👍’
