The Tractive X-CITE rear shock for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin uses a closed, pressurised monotube design to keep damping consistent under load and heat. It features a separated oil and gas system to reduce aeration during long or rough rides. This model includes rebound adjustment and is built as a complete replacement unit with spring fitted.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised monotube architecture for stable damping performance
  • Internal separation piston to keep oil and gas apart and help prevent foaming
  • Purpose-built fitment for the Africa Twin

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment

Base Setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with a factory baseline tune intended to suit the standard linkage and general mixed riding conditions. Fine-tuning rebound is typically used to balance comfort, control, and traction based on load and terrain.

Who is this for?

  • Riders who want a serviceable, pressurised rear shock with controlled damping for adventure and touring use
  • Owners carrying variable loads (luggage/passenger) who want rebound damping control to match conditions

Before You Install

  • Confirm your exact model and year compatibility for CRF1000L fitment before installation
  • Set sag and check spring suitability for your typical riding load
  • After installation, re-check fastener torque and clearances through full suspension travel

Serviceability/Lifecycle

This is a rebuildable shock designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Regular servicing intervals depend on use conditions (distance, heat, and dust/water exposure) and should be adjusted for frequent off-road riding.
