The Tractive X-TREME shock for the BMW F 850 GS Adventure is a closed, pressurised monotube design with a separated oil and gas volume for consistent damping control. It uses an external reservoir and a spring preload adjuster to support fast setup changes across varying loads and terrain. This model features a triple-adjustable damping layout for broader tuning range.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised monotube shock with a separation piston to keep oil and gas apart
  • External reservoir to support damping stability during prolonged use
  • Supplied with a spring and a fixed hydraulic preload adjuster for convenient preload changes

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment (high- and low-speed circuits)
  • Hydraulic spring preload adjustment

Base Setup (factory preset)

The shock is supplied with a baseline factory setting intended as a starting point. Final setup should be confirmed to suit rider weight, luggage/passenger use, and typical riding surfaces.

Before You Install

  • Confirm fitment for your BMW F 850 GS Adventure and the exact shock configuration before installation
  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound and compression to match your conditions
  • Professional installation is recommended if you are not familiar with suspension setup

Serviceability/Lifecycle

As a closed, pressurised shock with separated oil and gas, this design is intended to remain consistent over use and is serviceable when maintenance is required.

Is It Right For You?

This configuration suits riders who want a wider adjustment range, including independent rebound and compression control, and the convenience of hydraulic preload changes for load variation.
