The Tractive X-TREME rear shock for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin uses a closed, pressurised architecture to keep damping consistent when conditions and temperatures change. This shock is built around a 46 mm body and a remote reservoir with oil/gas separation via a piston. It also includes a spring with a remote hydraulic preload adjuster, allowing preload changes without tools.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised damping system to reduce aeration and help maintain consistent feel
  • Remote reservoir with a separation piston to keep oil and gas separated
  • Spring included
  • Remote hydraulic preload adjuster for convenient preload changes

Tuning Controls

  • Triple-adjustable damping to tune the shock response for different loads and surfaces
  • External preload adjustment via the remote hydraulic adjuster

Before You Install

  • Confirm compatibility with your exact CRF1000L Africa Twin variant and year
  • Set sag and preload for your usual load (rider, luggage, passenger) before fine-tuning damping
  • After initial setup, re-check settings once the suspension has bedded in

Serviceability/Lifecycle

  • Designed as a rebuildable shock assembly, allowing periodic servicing to maintain performance over time
  • Closed, pressurised construction supports stable damping between services when maintained correctly

Is It Right For You?

This shock suits riders who want broad tuning range and practical load adjustment via remote hydraulic preload. If you value consistent damping under demanding use and prefer a serviceable, fully adjustable design, it’s a strong match for the Africa Twin platform.
