The Tractive X-CITE shock for the BMW R 80 GS (Dakar) is built around a closed, pressurised damper design that keeps the damping oil separated from the gas for consistent performance and reduced fade. This model uses a single external adjustment to let you tailor the shock’s behaviour to your riding and load. It is supplied as a complete shock unit ready to install in place of the original.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock construction with oil/gas separation for consistent damping.
  • Remote reservoir design.
  • Coil spring fitted.

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment.

Base Setup (factory preset)

Supplied with a baseline setting from Tractive intended to suit typical use. Fine-tuning rebound can help balance comfort, grip, and chassis control depending on load and road conditions.

Before You Install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact BMW R 80 GS (Dakar) model and year.
  • Check clearance and routing for the remote reservoir before final tightening.
  • Set sag and verify fastener torque to your workshop manual.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

This is a serviceable shock designed for ongoing maintenance over its life. Periodic servicing helps maintain damping consistency and seal performance, especially with frequent off-road use.
