The Tractive X-CITE Shock for the BMW R nineT is a closed, pressurised shock absorber designed to deliver consistent damping across a wide range of riding conditions. Its internal oil/gas separation helps reduce aeration and maintain stable performance as temperatures and loads change. This unit is supplied as a spring shock with external rebound adjustment.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised construction for consistent damping control
  • Oil/gas separated architecture to help minimise fade from aeration
  • Spring-equipped shock for rear suspension fitment

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment

Base Setup (factory preset)

The shock is delivered with a baseline internal setting intended to be a practical starting point for general road use. Fine-tuning rebound is typically used to match rider preference, load, and road conditions.

Who is this for?

  • BMW R nineT riders wanting a serviceable, pressurised rear shock with external rebound control
  • Owners who regularly change load (solo vs luggage) and want a simple adjustment to help dial in feel

Before You Install

  • Confirm model and fitment for your specific BMW R nineT variant and year
  • Set sag and spring preload to suit rider weight and typical load before making damping changes
  • If you are unsure about setup, record your starting position so you can return to it

Serviceability/Lifecycle

Tractive shocks are built to be serviceable. Periodic servicing helps maintain oil condition, seal integrity, and consistent damping performance over time.
