The Tractive eX-PERIENCE Shock for the BMW R 1200 GS is a 46 mm rear shock absorber designed around a closed, pressurised system with separated oil and gas for consistent damping. It uses a remote reservoir connected by hose to help manage oil volume and temperature stability. This unit includes a spring and a hydraulic preload adjuster via hose for convenient load changes. Shock length is adjustable to help fine-tune ride height and chassis balance.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design with separated oil and gas for more consistent performance over a wide range of conditions.
  • Remote reservoir on a hose to support stable damping behaviour during sustained use.
  • Spring supplied as part of the assembly.
  • Adjustable shock length to help tune ride height and handling balance.

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment.
  • Compression damping adjustment.
  • Hydraulic preload adjustment (hose-mounted) to suit changes in luggage and passenger load.

Who is this for?

  • BMW R 1200 GS riders who want a serviceable, tuneable rear shock for road and mixed-surface use.
  • Riders who regularly change load (solo vs luggage/passenger) and want easier preload changes.
  • Owners looking to refine chassis attitude using ride height adjustment.

Before You Install

  • Plan reservoir and hose routing before fitting to avoid heat sources, sharp edges, and suspension travel interference.
  • Confirm the available clearance for the reservoir location and ensure hoses are secured without kinks.
  • After installation, recheck fasteners and hose routing after the first rides.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

  • Designed as a rebuildable shock so damping performance can be maintained with periodic servicing.
  • A closed, pressurised system with separated oil and gas helps keep damping behaviour consistent between services.
