The Tractive X-CITE shock for the KTM 990 SM-T is a closed, pressurised rear shock built around a sealed cartridge design for consistent damping and reduced fade in demanding use. This configuration uses separate oil and gas via an internal separation piston, helping maintain stable performance over long rides. Rebound damping adjustment is provided to fine-tune feel and control.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised construction with a sealed cartridge for consistent damping behaviour
  • Oil and gas separated by an internal separation piston to reduce aeration and stabilise damping
  • Steel spring fitted

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment

Base Setup (factory preset)

Supplied with a baseline internal setting intended to suit general road use. Final setup depends on load, tyres, and riding conditions.

Who is this for?

  • Riders who want a serviceable, tuneable rear shock with external rebound adjustment
  • KTM 990 SM-T owners who ride a mix of commuting, touring, and spirited road work and value consistent damping over time

Before You Install

  • Check spring rate suitability for your typical load (rider, luggage, pillion)
  • Inspect mounting hardware and bushes/bearings and replace if worn
  • After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound to match road conditions

Serviceability/Lifecycle

This is a rebuildable Tractive shock designed to be serviced as part of normal suspension maintenance. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent and extends component life.
