The Tractive X-TREME Shock for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin is a closed, pressurised rear shock designed to deliver consistent damping during sustained off-road and touring use. Its oil and gas are separated internally to reduce fade and improve stability as conditions change. The architecture supports a broad tuning range without relying on electronic control.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design with internal oil/gas separation to help maintain damping consistency.
  • Remote reservoir configuration to support stable performance during extended use.
  • Designed as a complete rear shock unit for the Africa Twin application listed.

Tuning Controls

  • Triple-adjustable damping: rebound plus both compression circuits (high-speed and low-speed compression).
  • Manual adjusters (no electronic damping control indicated for this model).

Base Setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with a factory baseline tune intended as a starting point for common mixed-surface riding. Final settings should be refined to suit rider load, luggage, and intended terrain.

Who is this for?

  • Riders who want broad, independent damping control for varied conditions.
  • Adventure and touring riders carrying variable loads who need repeatable, consistent damping behaviour.
  • Off-road focused riders looking to fine-tune both low-speed and high-speed compression responses.

Before You Install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact CRF1000L Africa Twin variant and model year.
  • Plan your initial setup around your normal riding load (rider kit, luggage, passenger use) before making damping changes.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances after your first rides.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

As a pressurised shock, this unit is intended to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components, particularly when used in dust, water crossings, or sustained corrugations.
