The Tractive X-TREME shock for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin is a closed, pressurised damper designed to provide consistent performance through a separated oil and gas layout. It uses a 46 mm shock body architecture with an external reservoir to help manage oil volume and temperature stability. This model is configured with a spring and a fixed hydraulic preload adjuster for convenient preload changes without tools.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design with separated oil and gas to reduce aeration and maintain damping consistency.
  • External reservoir configuration to support stable damping behaviour over longer, rougher rides.
  • Supplied with spring.
  • Fixed hydraulic preload adjuster for easier preload changes.

Tuning Controls

  • Triple-adjustable damping: rebound adjustment plus high- and low-speed compression adjustment.
  • Preload adjustment via the hydraulic preload adjuster.

Base Setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with a baseline internal valving and adjustment range intended to be set up for your load and use case via spring preload and the external damping adjusters.

Who is this for?

  • Riders who want broad tuning range for varying loads and surfaces, including luggage or passenger use.
  • Owners who prefer the convenience of a hydraulic preload adjuster for regular preload changes.

Before You Install

  • Confirm compatibility with your exact CRF1000L variant and build date.
  • Plan to set sag and then fine-tune damping after installation.
