Guide

Paralever understand

What makes the Paralever swingarm special?

In 1987, BMW introduced the Paralever with the R80 GS and R100 GS: a single-sided swingarm with additional torque support. It prevents the typical "shaft effect," where the rear end rises during acceleration. This was later followed by the R80 R and R100 R roadsters, as well as the K1, K100 RS 4V, and K1100 in the K-series models.

FAQ

Questions about Paralever

Can't find your question? Use our parts inquiry form – we will respond personally.

How do I recognize a Paralever?

An der zusätzlichen Strebe unterhalb der Einarmschwinge, die zum Hinterachsgetriebe führt. Bei der Monolever fehlt diese Strebe.

Do Monolever parts fit my Paralever?

Usually not – the subframe, license plate holder, and shock absorbers are designed for the specific swingarm. Look for "Paralever" in the product title.

Is there an exhaust with ABE for the R100R?

Ja, unsere 2-in-1-Auspuffanlage für R80R, R100R und GS (Paralever) wird mit ABE geliefert.

Can you convert my Paralever GS into a scrambler?

Yes. We build complete scramblers and enduros based on the Paralever. Contact us via our contact page.
