The Tractive X-CITE Shock for the BMW R 1150 GS Adventure is a 46 mm, closed and pressurised rear shock absorber built around a sealed cartridge design. This construction helps maintain consistent damping by keeping the oil under pressure and reducing aeration during repeated hits. It is a spring-equipped unit intended as a complete replacement shock for the rear of the bike.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design to help resist cavitation and damping fade.
  • Sealed cartridge architecture for stable, repeatable damping behaviour.
  • Oil/gas separation via an internal separation piston.
  • Spring-equipped configuration.

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment.

Base Setup (factory preset)

Delivered with a baseline damping and spring setup intended to be adjusted via the external rebound control to suit rider load and typical usage. Fine-tuning is normally done after verifying sag and ride balance.

Who is this for?

  • Riders who want a serviceable, pressurised rear shock with external rebound adjustment for day-to-day riding and touring loads.
  • Owners chasing more consistent damping behaviour during longer rides or rougher surfaces where heat and aeration can affect feel.

Before You Install

  • Confirm the exact motorcycle model and fitment details for your BMW R 1150 GS Adventure before installation.
  • Set sag after installation and then use the rebound adjuster to dial in control for your typical load.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

The pressurised, separated oil/gas design is intended to support consistent damping over time, and the shock is built to be maintained as part of normal suspension servicing.
