The TracTive X-TREME + EPA rear shock for the BMW R1250GS Adventure (2018–2024) is a closed, pressurised monotube design with a separated oil and gas layout for consistent damping under load and heat. It uses an external reservoir and includes a spring with an electronic preload adjuster (EPA). This version is supplied in a factory low configuration with a height reduction of -40 mm.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised damping system with separated oil and gas for stable performance during long, rough rides.
  • External reservoir layout to support consistent damping behaviour as conditions change.
  • Built with an integrated spring and electronic preload adjuster (EPA) for convenient load compensation.

Tuning Controls

  • Electronic preload adjustment (EPA) to set sag for solo, luggage, or two-up use without manual tools.

Base Setup (factory preset)

  • Supplied as a factory low option with a -40 mm height reduction.

Who is this for?
