The Tractive X-CITE shock for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin is a closed, pressurised rear shock designed to deliver consistent damping control by keeping the oil and gas separated. This architecture helps maintain stable performance by reducing foaming and damping fade under sustained use. This unit uses a separation piston layout and includes a coil spring.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design with oil/gas separation piston
  • Built as a complete replacement rear shock assembly
  • Coil-spring configuration

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Hydraulic preload adjuster (remote/hose-mounted)

Base Setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with a baseline setup intended to suit general road and mixed-surface riding. Final settings should be confirmed to match rider weight, luggage, passenger use, and tyre choice.

Before You Install

  • Confirm model fitment for your CRF1000L variant and year
  • Set rider sag after installation using preload adjustment
  • After a short shakedown ride, re-check fasteners and re-evaluate rebound setting

Serviceability/Lifecycle

As a closed, pressurised shock, periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent over time. Service intervals depend on mileage, load, and riding conditions (especially dust, water crossings, and sustained rough-road use).

Is It Right For You?

Choose this configuration if you want a quality rear shock with straightforward rebound tuning and convenient hydraulic preload adjustment for changing loads. If you require additional damping controls beyond rebound, consider a different configuration with more adjustment range.
