The Tractive X-TREME Shock for the BMW F 850 GS is a 46 mm rear shock built around a closed, pressurised design with oil and gas separated by an internal piston for consistent damping. This version includes a remote reservoir and is configured with triple adjustment to support more precise tuning across varying loads and terrain. Spring preload is adjustable via a remote hydraulic preload adjuster, and an additional length adjustment is included.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design for stable damping performance
  • Oil/gas separation via an internal separation piston (not an emulsion design)
  • Remote reservoir for improved oil volume management during demanding use
  • Spring fitted
  • Remote hydraulic preload adjuster
  • Length adjustment included

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Additional compression circuit adjustment (triple-adjust configuration)

Who is this for?

  • BMW F 850 GS riders who want broader suspension tuning range than a basic single-adjust setup
  • Riders carrying a passenger or luggage who need convenient preload changes via a hydraulic adjuster
  • Owners who want a pressurised, separated-gas shock architecture for consistent behaviour

Before You Install

  • Confirm correct fitment for your BMW F 850 GS and model year application
  • Set sag and preload for your typical load, then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit conditions
  • Plan routing and mounting space for the remote reservoir and hydraulic preload adjuster

Serviceability/Lifecycle

  • This is a rebuildable shock designed to be maintained over its service life
  • Routine servicing helps keep damping performance consistent, especially with frequent off-road use
