TracTive BMW F 800 GS Fork Cartridge kit X-TREME Lowered -45mm – Front Cartridge kit – Height: Standard

The BMW F 800 GS is capable, but its stock suspension often limits control and comfort under demanding conditions. The TracTive X-TREME kit replaces vague OEM damping with precision engineering—delivering confidence, compliance, and consistency mile after mile.

Why Choose TracTive X-TREME

  • Developed by the same engineers behind BMW’s World Rally Raid suspension systems.
  • Closed-cartridge damping for consistent performance and fade-free control.
  • Independent compression and rebound adjusters allow custom setup for terrain and payload.
  • Hard-anodised internals extend life and resist corrosion in extreme conditions.
  • Linear spring system improves predictability and steering feedback.
  • Fully rebuildable design reduces lifetime cost and downtime.
  • Precision-machined in the Netherlands to ISO quality standards.
  • Optional lowering configuration available for shorter riders or comfort tuning.

“After fitting the TracTive X-TREME kit, the bike felt completely transformed—smooth, stable, and predictable everywhere.”
— Ben

  • Recommended service interval for Motorsport applications: every season, or every 50 hours, every 10.000km or after any perceived loss in performance.
  • These cartridges fit right into the fork legs without modifications to the fork.
  • The cartridges are closed, meaning that the cartridge is like a separate, pressurised shock absorber inside the fork with its own damping oil for optimal handling.
  • The products were originally developed in close cooperation with adventure riders, world travelers and rally riders.
  • The products have proven their value over the years: hugely improved off-road handling while retaining comfort during long travels.
  • This is certainly also due to the huge size of piston used: 35 mm diameter.
  • This size of piston is the largest of all aftermarket suspension providers.
  • Apart from a high oil flow, this piston size allows for a stable, well-controlled damping behaviour.
  • The size of the internal bore also allows to use electronic adjustments.
  • Later on the cartridges have been further developed for use in road racing.
  • Again the cartridge design has proven to be stable and finely adjustable.
  • Every cartridge can be easily opened and serviced.
  • Or the damping can be tuned for the customer's application.
  • Spring rate, spring preload and air chamber are easily modified, there is for every product a range of springs available pending on loading and application.
  • Every cover cap contains a dearation screw to remove an excess of foam and air.The damping can be easily adjusted with 18 clicks using the cover caps on the top of the fork legs.
  • The adjustments are separate, meaning that the left fork leg is used for compression damping adjustment, and the right fork leg contains the rebound damping adjustment.
  • In both legs the preload can be adjusted over 12 mm.At the end of the stroke there is an hydraulic end stop.
  • This helps with preventing hard bottoming during large impacts..
