The Tractive X-TREME Shock for the BMW F 850 GS Adventure is a closed, pressurised rear shock built around a 46 mm shock body. Its internal floating piston separates oil and gas to help maintain consistent damping and reduce fade during sustained, rough use. This unit uses a spring with a fixed hydraulic preload adjuster and adds remote reservoir volume for more stable performance.

Who is this for?

  • Riders who want consistent rear suspension control on long, mixed-surface rides.
  • Owners who regularly carry luggage or a passenger and want preload changes without tools.
  • Anyone who prefers a serviceable, high-quality shock designed for repeated heat cycles.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised construction with oil/gas separation via an internal floating piston.
  • Remote reservoir (hose-mounted) to increase oil volume and support consistent damping.
  • Spring included with a fixed hydraulic preload adjuster for convenient load compensation.

Tuning Controls

  • Triple-adjustable damping, with separate rebound adjustment and both compression circuits (high- and low-speed) available for fine tuning.
  • Hydraulic preload adjustment to suit changes in rider/passenger/luggage load.

Before You Install

  • Confirm clearance and routing for the hose-mounted reservoir before final mounting.
  • Set sag and preload for your typical riding load, then fine-tune damping from there.
  • If you are unsure about spring rate suitability for your weight and load, confirm before fitment.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

  • Designed to be serviceable, supporting maintenance over the product’s working life.
  • The pressurised, oil/gas-separated layout helps reduce performance drop-off as temperatures rise.
