The Tractive X-CITE shock for the Ducati DesertX is a closed, pressurised 46 mm rear shock designed to deliver consistent damping through a sealed, oil/gas-separated internal layout. It uses a remote reservoir and includes a coil spring. Damping adjustment is focused on rebound, allowing you to fine-tune control without added complexity.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock architecture for stable damping and reduced fade under sustained use
  • Oil/gas separation via an internal separation piston
  • Remote reservoir (hose-mounted) configuration
  • Supplied with spring

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment

Base Setup (factory preset)

The shock is supplied with a standard baseline tune intended to work as a starting point for typical mixed-use riding. Final setup should be confirmed with sag and rebound feel checks once installed.

Who is this for?

  • Riders who want a quality, pressurised rear shock with straightforward tuning
  • DesertX owners looking to tailor rebound control for load, terrain, and riding style

Before You Install

  • Confirm model compatibility for your specific Ducati DesertX variant before fitting
  • Set rider sag after installation and re-check after initial rides
  • Inspect clearance and routing for the remote reservoir hose during installation

Serviceability/Lifecycle

As a sealed, pressurised shock with a separated gas chamber, the unit is designed to be serviceable and maintain damping consistency over time. Regular servicing intervals depend on use conditions (dust, heat, and extended rough-road riding can shorten service life).
