The TracTive X-CELLENT rear shock for the Kawasaki ZX-10R (2016–2019) is a closed, pressurised, oil/gas-separated design intended to deliver consistent damping during hard road and track use. It uses a 46 mm shock architecture with an external reservoir to manage oil volume and temperature stability. This model includes a remote hydraulic preload adjuster for convenient ride-height and load changes.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised damping system with oil/gas separation (not an emulsion shock)
  • External reservoir configuration
  • Built by TracTive Suspension in The Netherlands

Tuning Controls

  • Triple adjustment: rebound damping, compression damping, and a separate high/low-speed compression circuit
  • Remote hydraulic preload adjustment

Who is this for?

  • ZX-10R riders wanting broader tuning range for trackdays, fast road riding, or variable loads
  • Riders who value quick preload changes without tools at the spring collar

Before You Install

  • Confirm compatibility with Kawasaki ZX-10R model years 2016–2019 as listed
  • Set sag and damping to suit rider weight, tyres, and intended use after installation
  • Ensure reservoir and hydraulic preload adjuster placement suits your bike’s packaging

Serviceability/Lifecycle

  • Designed to be serviced and reconditioned as part of normal suspension maintenance
  • Periodic service intervals depend on usage conditions and operating hours

Need Help Choosing?

If you’re unsure how much adjustment you need or want help with initial settings for your ZX-10R, provide your rider weight (with gear), typical riding conditions, and whether you carry a passenger or luggage.
