The Tractive X-CITE shock for the Honda XL700V Transalp is a closed, pressurised monotube design with an oil/gas separation piston to keep damping consistent over changing conditions. It uses a dedicated hydraulic preload adjuster, making sag changes straightforward without tools. This model includes rebound adjustment.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised monotube shock architecture
  • Oil/gas separation piston (not an emulsion design)
  • Hydraulic preload adjuster for convenient spring preload changes

Base Setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with Tractive’s baseline settings intended to suit general road use. Fine-tuning rebound and preload is typically done after setting rider sag for your load and riding style.

  • Honda XL700V Transalp riders wanting convenient preload changes for varying loads
  • Riders who prefer simple, focused tuning with rebound adjustment
  • Touring and everyday riding where consistent damping feel is valued

  • Confirm fitment for your exact XL700V Transalp variant and year
  • Set sag after installation, then adjust rebound to control return speed
  • Re-check fastener torque and preload after an initial shakedown ride

Serviceability/Lifecycle
