The TracTive X-TREME front shock is specifically designed for the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure, delivering race-inspired performance suitable for both winding roads and rugged trails. This suspension component features closed-cartridge technology that provides consistent damping and fade-free operation, ensuring stability and control under varied riding conditions. Independent compression and rebound adjustments allow riders to tailor the suspension to their preferred ride quality, enhancing comfort and handling precision.
Constructed with hard-anodised internals, the shock reduces friction and resists corrosion, contributing to long-term durability. The linear-rate spring system balances traction and steering accuracy, improving overall ride confidence. Manufactured and assembled in the Netherlands under ISO-certified standards, the X-TREME shock is fully rebuildable for extended service life. Proven in both competition and adventure environments worldwide, it is supported by Teknik Motorsport’s professional tuning and setup expertise.

- Warranty shall apply only when TracTive original parts, procedures and tools have been used to service and/or repair, and if service and repair is performed by designated TracTive partners.
- The product may not have been neglected, improperly used, altered or subjected to excessive loads. Excluded from warranty are normal wear, damage and rust.
- A sales receipt or other proof of purchase originally eminating from Teknik Motorsport Pty Ltd. No warranty will be given on TracTive or Touratech products not purchased from or through Teknik Motorsport pty ltd.

- This shock absorber uses a damping shim stack specifically developed for its application.
- The aluminum shock absorber housing creates maximum thermal stability by optimal heat removal.
- Not only leads this to stable performance but also to a longer lifetime of the shock and its oil.
- To create the best performance for every model we use high flow pistons, low friction seals, and dedicated shimstacks.
- We use heavy duty components like microfinished induction hardened quenched&tempered 42CrMo 16mm piston rods, best quality bearings and stainless steel bushings.
- Every shock can be opened and serviced, or tuned for the customer's application.
- For all shocks there is a range of springs from softer than standard till harder.This shock is the choice for customers that want to adjust damping between different tracks or want to have optimal damping control.
- Using the rebound adjuster, the damping is adjusted with approximately 18 clicks.
- Every clicker adjustment brings a noticeable change in damping level.The main advantage of a damper with an external reservoir is that the shock absorber contains significantly more oil and also shows significantly more cooling surface than a shock absorber without a reservoir.
- It additionally offers the tuning capabilities to control the compression (ingoing) oil flow.
- Two separate adjusters control the damping respectivily at low shock absorber speed (slow undulations in the track/road) and at high shock absorber speed (sudden bumps or holes).
- The fixed piggybag fits nicely within the motorbike frame.
- The shock absorber is equipped with a so-called PDSII system against bottoming out.
- It has a 2nd damping piston mounted on top of the main damping piston.
- At the end of the ingoing shock absorber stroke, this 2nd damping piston enters a cup and creates an extra damping level.
- This happens only during the ingoing movement and only at high ingoing speeds.
- It effectivily is a cushion that absorbs the high ingoing energy and prevents a hard bottoming of the shock absorber.
- This leads to increased comfort and safety.
- At the same time the bottoming impacts on the motorbike frame are minimised, leading to less bent bolts and damages..
