The TracTive X-TREME shock for Ducati DesertX is a closed, pressurised 46 mm rear shock designed to deliver consistent damping over long, mixed-terrain rides. Its sealed architecture helps reduce fade by keeping the oil under pressure and limiting aeration. This configuration includes an external reservoir and a spring with remote hydraulic preload adjustment.
Design & features
- Closed, pressurised monotube shock design for more stable damping behaviour
- External reservoir with oil/gas separation piston to help manage heat and cavitation
- Supplied with a spring and remote hydraulic preload adjuster for convenient load changes
Tuning Controls
- Triple-adjustable damping: rebound, plus high- and low-speed compression adjustment
- Remote hydraulic preload adjustment for fast setup changes without tools
Base Setup (factory preset)
The shock is supplied with TracTive’s baseline settings from the factory, intended as a starting point. Final setup will depend on rider weight, typical luggage/passenger use, and riding conditions.
Who is this for?
- Ducati DesertX riders who want broad tuning range for mixed on-road and off-road use
- Riders frequently changing load (luggage/passenger) and wanting quick preload changes
- Owners looking for consistent damping on longer or hotter rides where fade control matters
Before You Install
- Confirm model fitment for your Ducati DesertX and intended use
- Set sag after installation and re-check after initial bedding-in
- Record your original adjuster positions before making changes so you can return to a known baseline
