The TracTive X-TREME + EPA Rear for the BMW R1250GS (2018–2024) is a closed, pressurised rear shock built around a sealed cartridge design for consistent damping and reduced oil aeration. This version is supplied in a factory low configuration that reduces ride height by 25 mm. It uses an external reservoir for improved oil/gas management under sustained use.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock with a sealed cartridge architecture to help maintain stable damping performance.
  • External reservoir to separate oil and gas, supporting more consistent damping during long or demanding rides.
  • Factory low (-25 mm) configuration to reduce ride height.

Tuning Controls

  • Triple-adjustable damping, providing separate tuning control for rebound and compression circuits.
  • Electronic preload adjustment (EPA) for convenient load compensation when switching between solo, luggage, and two-up use.

Base Setup (factory preset)

Delivered with a factory baseline setup intended to suit the listed model fitment. Final performance depends on rider weight, typical load, tyres, and riding conditions, so fine-tuning may be beneficial after installation.

Before You Install

  • Confirm fitment for BMW R1250GS model years 2018–2024 and note the factory low (-25 mm) ride height change.
  • Electronic preload adjustment requires correct routing and secure mounting of associated components during installation.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

This unit is designed as a serviceable, performance-focused shock. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent over time, particularly when used in harsh conditions or high kilometre applications.

Is It Right For You?

Choose this option if you want a lower ride height combined with broad damping adjustment range and the convenience of electronic preload adjustment for changing loads and conditions.
