The Tractive X-CITE rear shock for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin uses a closed, pressurised damper with a separated oil/gas design to maintain consistent damping and reduce aeration under sustained use. This model includes rebound adjustment for practical tuning to suit load, tyres, and terrain. Built around Tractive’s sealed architecture, it’s designed for reliable performance across mixed riding conditions.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design with separated oil/gas for more consistent damping control.
  • Sealed damper construction intended to reduce foaming and damping fade over longer, rougher rides.
  • Application-specific fitment for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin (from 2018).

Tuning Controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment.

Who is this for?

  • Riders who want adjustable rebound control for comfort and stability when changing pace, surface conditions, or luggage load.
  • Owners looking for a modern, pressurised shock architecture with separated oil/gas for consistent behaviour on long rides.

Before You Install

  • Confirm exact model and year for your Africa Twin matches the intended application.
  • Set sag and rebound to suit your rider weight, typical load, and riding conditions after installation.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

  • Sealed, pressurised shock construction is designed around controlled internal oil/gas management for consistent damping; servicing should be handled by qualified suspension technicians.
