The Bitubo WAT1 Rear Monoshock, part number BW022WAT12, is a rear-suspension replacement and upgrade for 1994-2002 BMW R1100R/R850R. The setup combines spring preload, rebound, compression, length adjustment. It replaces aging factory damping with a purpose-built Bitubo component while adding the adjustment range specified for this exact part. That gives you a more useful setup window for matching the chassis to rider weight, load, and intended use instead of being locked into a one-setting stock suspension package.

About Bitubo WAT1 Series:
The WAT1 is a higher-spec BMW Telelever front monoshock with separate reservoir plus spring-preload, rebound, compression, and length adjustment. It is the option for riders who want meaningful front-end chassis tuning rather than a basic replacement damper.
About Bitubo Suspension:
Founded in 1963, Bitubo develops motorcycle suspension and damping systems for street, racing, V-twin, scooter, Vespa, and off-road applications. Bitubo continues to design, engineer, develop, and manufacture its suspension products in Italy, drawing on decades of R&D and competition experience. For Elite Race Fab customers, it is the kind of hardware we like to see: purpose-built components, useful adjustment where the application calls for it, and a clear focus on getting the chassis working the way it should.
