The Tractive X-TREME Shock for the BMW R 1200 GS is a closed, pressurised rear shock absorber designed to deliver consistent damping across changing conditions. Its sealed construction helps maintain stable performance by reducing aeration and keeping the oil and gas separated inside the unit. This model is built around a 46 mm shock body architecture.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design to help maintain consistent damping feel
  • Oil/gas separation via internal separation piston (not an emulsion design)
  • Remote reservoir configuration via hose

Tuning Controls

  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment via a hydraulic preload adjuster (remote/hose-mounted)

Who is this for?

  • Riders who want a broad adjustment range to tune comfort and control
  • Owners who carry varying loads (luggage or passenger) and prefer easy preload changes
  • Those riding mixed road and off-road conditions where damping consistency matters

Before You Install

  • Confirm model fitment for your specific BMW R 1200 GS variant and year
  • Set preload and damping adjusters to a known baseline before test riding so changes can be measured
  • Inspect linkage and mounting hardware condition during installation

Serviceability/Lifecycle

  • Sealed, pressurised shocks are serviceable and should be maintained periodically to keep damping consistent
  • Regular inspection for oil leaks, damaged hose routing, and reservoir mounting security is recommended
