AltRider Variable Height Suspension Linkage for Honda CRF1000L and CRF1100L Africa Twin/ ADV Sports

Confirmed to fit on the 2024 models. 

✓ 4 Height Options: Lower your seat by 12mm (0.4 in) or 25mm (1 in) for technical terrain, or raise it by 6mm (0.24 in) or 19mm (0.75 in) for aggressive riding.

✓ Built-In UHMW Link Guard: We're the only ones with an integrated 6mm UHMW linkage guard. Unlike rigid guards, it's lubricious so you will glide over obstacles and boulders and flexes on impact insuring you will not damage the bearing on your rear shock. Go take a look under your bike and see why we build this protection.

 ✓ Improved Comfort & Confidence: Lowering your suspension makes it easier to plant both feet on the ground, especially on uneven terrain or for shorter riders.

✓ OEM-Grade Bearings: Full needle Japanese bearings with integrated seals. Because cheap bearings are fine until they're not. Go do your Research.

✓ Hassle Proof Adjustment: Height settings are laser-etched right on the inserts. Two holes per insert, and two ways to mount - impossible to mess up.

Your Africa Twin is a beast, but its stock height can be intimidating. Don't let that keep you from fully exploring your bike’s potential. Use this variable height suspension linkage as your training aid and expand your riding techniques.

Detailed Description

We know that one height doesn't work for all terrain and all skill levels. Technical sections demand confidence (low seat height) and high-speed runs need clearance (lifted suspension). Our variable suspension links solve both. Precision CNC'd from aircraft-grade billet aluminum, these aren't just shorter links - they're a complete height management system. 

The AltRider Variable Height Suspension Linkage lets you customize your suspension to achieve the perfect seat height for your Honda CRF1000L or CRF1100L Africa Twin / ADV Sports. Each billet insert side has two different holes and can be rotated two different ways, allowing for four different height settings

  • Final height varies with shock preload, sag, and tire setup.

    Excellent Link

    Very much like the quality pre-installed bearings and ease of changing ride heights after install. I highly recommend watching the associated video before installation. The protective plastic guard for the lower shock mount is an added bonus, and this link does not interfere with Honda's OEM center stand. I currently have the link inserts set to the 12mm lower seat position - this change noticeably increased the effort needed to get the bike up on the center stand, and essentially raises the wheel higher off the ground. I have not encountered any issue with ground clearance or the slight decrease in suspension range, even when running fast over rough terrain, probably due to the AT's generous suspension travel in factory form. The fit and finish of this link is impeccable - the only recommended refinement I'd suggest is for the company to make available another set of inserts, for an 'intermediate' lower seat height (perhaps 18mm) combined with the standard factory height - making it easy to return the bike to OEM condition. With my 31" inseam, and the AT's already excellent ground clearance, I likely will never use the two "higher" adjustment positions available with the supplied inserts. Overall I am happy with this purchase, and trust the link will prove reliable in the long-term given Altrider's reputation, generally robust build quality, and evident attention to detail.
