The Tractive X-TREME shock for the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin is a 46 mm rear shock built around a closed, pressurised architecture to help keep damping consistent over long rides. It uses an external reservoir with a separating piston to keep oil and gas apart, supporting stable performance across changing conditions. This model includes a remote hydraulic preload adjuster for quick spring preload changes without tools.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design to support consistent damping.
  • External reservoir with oil/gas separation via a separating piston.
  • Remote hydraulic preload adjuster for convenient load and ride height balancing.
  • Built for the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin application.

Tuning Controls

  • Triple adjustment: rebound damping, compression damping, and a separate high-speed compression circuit.
  • Hydraulic preload adjustment via a remote adjuster.

Base Setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with a factory baseline tune intended as a starting point. Final setup depends on rider weight, luggage, passenger use, and riding conditions.

Before You Install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact CRF1100L Africa Twin model and any accessories that may affect clearance.
  • Set sag and preload for your typical load before fine-tuning damping.
  • If you routinely change between solo and loaded riding, note your preload and damping positions for repeatability.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

This is a rebuildable shock designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent, particularly for frequent off-road use or sustained harsh conditions.
