The TracTive X-CITE shock for the BMW R 1200 RT is a closed, pressurised damper built around a sealed cartridge design for consistent oil control and stable damping. This configuration helps reduce aeration and fade during long road use, keeping the response predictable. It features external rebound adjustment for fine-tuning ride behaviour.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised construction to help maintain consistent damping over time and temperature changes
  • Sealed cartridge architecture for controlled fluid flow and reduced likelihood of cavitation
  • Purpose-built fitment for BMW R 1200 RT applications

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment

Base Setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with a baseline setting intended as a safe starting point for general road riding. Use rebound adjustment to refine comfort and chassis control after installation.

Who is this for?

  • R 1200 RT riders wanting more controlled damping feel and easier tuning via external rebound adjustment
  • Touring and daily-road riders who value consistent performance from a pressurised shock design

Before You Install

  • Confirm model and year compatibility for your BMW R 1200 RT before fitting
  • After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound to suit load and riding style

Serviceability/Lifecycle
