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
