The Tractive X-TREME shock for Ducati DesertX is a closed, pressurised rear shock built around a sealed cartridge design to keep damping consistent across changing conditions. This configuration separates oil and gas, helping reduce aeration compared with non-pressurised designs. The unit includes remote reservoir hardware as part of its architecture.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock with oil/gas separation for more consistent damping.
  • Sealed cartridge architecture to support stable performance over long, rough use.
  • Remote reservoir layout (external reservoir) for added damping volume and thermal stability.

Tuning Controls

  • Triple-adjustable damping: rebound adjustment plus two independent compression adjustments.
  • Designed for riders who want separate control of chassis behaviour under different bump and load inputs.

Who is this for?

  • Ducati DesertX riders who regularly vary load, terrain, or pace and want broader tuning range.
  • Owners who prefer a pressurised, oil/gas-separated shock design for consistent feel during longer rides.

Before You Install

  • Confirm clearance for the remote reservoir and hose routing on your DesertX.
  • Plan a baseline setup session after installation so the rebound and compression settings start from a known point.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

  • Closed, pressurised shocks rely on correct oil condition and gas pressure; periodic servicing helps maintain damping consistency.
  • Keep adjusters clean and operate them periodically to prevent contamination-related sticking.
