The Tractive X-TREME Shock for the BMW R 1200 GS is a 46 mm rear shock built around a closed, pressurised architecture to keep damping consistent over long rides and varied conditions. It uses an oil/gas separation piston rather than an emulsion layout, helping maintain control as temperatures and workloads change. This version includes a remote reservoir and a spring with a fixed hydraulic preload adjuster, allowing tool-free preload changes when your load or passenger setup varies.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design for more stable damping behaviour
  • Oil/gas separated by an internal separation piston (not an emulsion shock)
  • Remote reservoir configuration
  • Supplied with spring
  • Fixed hydraulic preload adjuster for convenient preload changes

Tuning Controls

  • Triple-adjustable damping: compression and rebound adjustments are provided, with compression offering separate circuits for broader control over ride feel

Base Setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with a baseline factory setting intended to suit general riding. Final results depend on rider weight, luggage and typical terrain, so fine-tuning with the adjusters may be beneficial after installation.

Before You Install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact BMW R 1200 GS variant and model year before installation.
  • Set sag and preload after installation, especially if you ride with luggage or a passenger.
  • If you are not familiar with suspension setup, professional installation and setup is recommended.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

As a pressurised, oil/gas-separated design, this shock is built to be serviceable to restore performance as oil and seals wear over time. Regular servicing intervals will depend on usage, environment and workload.

Is It Right For You?

Choose this configuration if you want a serviceable, remote-reservoir rear shock with broad damping adjustment range and the convenience of a hydraulic preload adjuster for frequent load changes.
