The TracTive X-CITE Shock for the BMW R 1200 RT is a replacement rear shock designed around a sealed, closed and pressurised damper architecture to maintain consistent damping over changing conditions. This model uses a 38 mm shock body format and is configured with rebound adjustment. Built by TracTive Suspension, it’s intended as a quality service replacement where controlled damping and long-term consistency matter.

Design & features

  • Closed and pressurised damper design to reduce aeration and help maintain stable performance as temperatures and workloads change.
  • Sealed shock construction intended to keep damping oil and gas properly managed for consistent behaviour.
  • 38 mm shock body configuration.

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment.

Base Setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with an internal baseline tune from TracTive to suit the intended application. Final setup will depend on rider load, luggage and typical road conditions.

Who is this for?

  • BMW R 1200 RT riders wanting a service replacement shock with external rebound control.
  • Owners who regularly vary load (solo vs touring) and want the ability to fine-tune shock return speed.

Before You Install

  • Confirm fitment for your specific BMW R 1200 RT variant before installation.
  • After installation, check static and rider sag and then fine-tune rebound to suit your load and road use.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

As a closed, pressurised shock, maintaining performance over time depends on periodic inspection and servicing in line with use conditions. Service intervals vary with mileage, load and environmental exposure.
