The TracTive Ducati DesertX Rear Shock X-TREME is a closed, pressurised rear shock built around a 46 mm shock body and an external reservoir. This architecture keeps the damping oil separated from the gas for consistent performance across changing conditions. Damping is fully adjustable with independent compression and rebound controls.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design
  • External reservoir with oil/gas separation piston
  • Coil spring fitted

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment

Base Setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with a factory damping baseline. Fine-tuning is typically done by adjusting rebound and compression to suit load, tyres, and riding conditions.

Before You Install

  • Confirm compatibility for your Ducati DesertX application.
  • Set spring preload for correct ride height and sag before evaluating damping changes.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances through full suspension travel.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

The closed, pressurised design with separated gas and oil is intended for stable damping behaviour. Like any performance shock, it should be serviced periodically to keep seals and oil in good condition.
