The TracTive X-CITE + HPA rear shock absorber is designed for the BMW R nineT /5 model years 2020–2024. It uses a closed, pressurised damping system to help keep damping consistent by separating oil and gas rather than relying on an open, aerated design. This unit includes a hydraulic preload adjuster for easier spring preload changes without tools.

Design & features

  • Rear shock absorber for BMW R nineT /5 (2020–2024)
  • Closed, pressurised damping system with oil/gas separation
  • Hydraulic preload adjuster (HPA) for convenient preload changes

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Hydraulic spring preload adjustment (HPA)

Base Setup (factory preset)

Supplied with a factory damping baseline intended as a general starting point. Fine-tuning rebound and preload should be done to suit rider preference and use.

Before You Install

  • Confirm fitment for BMW R nineT /5 and the stated model years (2020–2024) before installation.
  • Set initial preload with the HPA to achieve your preferred ride height and feel, then fine-tune rebound damping.
  • Installation should be carried out using correct workshop procedures for rear suspension components.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

As a pressurised unit, the shock is intended to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Periodic inspection for leaks, bush wear, and consistent damping feel is recommended.

Is It Right For You?

This shock suits riders who want external rebound adjustment plus the convenience of hydraulic preload changes, without adding electronic control. If you regularly change load (solo vs luggage) the HPA can make setup changes faster and more repeatable.
