- Free Shipping USA
- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered
• Four Heights: Choose from two lowered positions (19 mm or 32 mm below stock) or two raised positions (6 mm or 20 mm above stock) using the included inserts — no guesswork, the setting is laser etched on each insert.
• More Confidence: Lowering the seat lets you get both feet flat on the ground during stops, which helps on uneven or unstable terrain where tipping risk is highest.
• Grow With It: Riders can start at a lower height while building off-road skills, then raise the seat as confidence increases — all with the same linkage.
• Shock Protection: A 6 mm thick UHMW plastic guard is built into the linkage to protect the lower shock mount from rock strikes, and unlike aluminum guards it absorbs impact instead of transferring it.
• OEM-Grade Bearings: Needle bearings with integrated dust seals meet OEM ingress protection standards, so the linkage stays smooth and lasts in dirty, wet conditions.
• Near-Stock Weight: At only 1.9 oz (54 g) heavier than the factory linkage, there is no meaningful weight penalty for the added adjustability.
• Material: Aircraft grade billet aluminum, anodized finish
• Linkage Guard: 6 mm thick UHMW plastic, removable with 3× M6 flush-mounted fasteners
• Bearings: Needle bearings with integrated dust seals
• Height Adjustment Range: −32 mm / −19 mm / +6 mm / +20 mm from factory height
• Weight: 1.35 lbs
• Dimensions: 3 × 4.5 × 7 in
Seat height is one of the biggest factors in how confident you feel on a bike — especially during slow technical sections or stops on uneven ground. This linkage lets you dial in the height that works for your inseam and skill level, then change it as your riding develops.
Adjustments use included inserts, each laser etched with the corresponding height setting so there is no guessing. One insert, flipped two ways, gives you access to all four positions. The 6 mm thick UHMW plastic guard is built directly into the linkage to protect the lower shock mount from rock strikes. Unlike aluminum guards, it absorbs impact rather than transferring it, and it will not snag on terrain.
Pair this linkage with the AltRider Adjustable Aluminum Side Stand for the Tuareg to keep your kickstand geometry correct at any ride height.
Seat height changes are provided as a guide. Final results vary with shock preload, static sag, tire size, type, and pressure. Lowering the rear changes bike geometry — adjust fork height to match your preferred handling balance. Verify torque ratings in your owner's manual for your model year.
