The TracTive eX-CITE + EPA rear shock for the BMW R1200GS (2004–2010) is a closed, pressurised shock designed to replace the complete rear unit. It uses a sealed cartridge-style internal layout to keep damping consistent and reduce aeration under sustained use. This is the low version and reduces ride height by 25 mm.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock construction to help maintain stable damping and minimise foaming.
  • Sealed internal cartridge architecture for consistent oil control over a wide range of conditions.
  • Low configuration for a 25 mm ride-height reduction.

Tuning Controls

  • External rebound damping adjustment.
  • Electronic preload adjustment (EPA) for convenient spring preload changes.

Who is this for?

  • Riders of a BMW R1200GS (2004–2010) who want a lowered rear ride height.
  • Riders who value quick preload changes via electronic preload adjustment.
  • Owners looking for a pressurised shock design intended to keep damping behaviour more consistent in demanding use.

Before You Install

  • Confirm fitment for BMW R1200GS model years 2004 to 2010.
  • Allow for the 25 mm reduction in rear ride height when setting up side-stand/centre-stand use and overall chassis balance.
  • Plan an initial setup check after installation to ensure rebound and preload are set appropriately for your load and riding conditions.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

  • As a sealed, pressurised shock, service work should be carried out by a suspension specialist familiar with this type of construction.
  • Periodic inspection and servicing helps keep damping performance consistent over time.
