eX-CHANGE Shock Series

When you need to replace your BMW ESA shock absorber you don't want to pay for a complete coilover unit - if you can find one - they're expensive! These eX-Change shocks are designed to replace only the stock electronically controlled damper in the middle, reusing the stock spring & electronic preload adjuster (if fitted). Completely plug & play, with no loss of advanced features or weird error messages on the screen - bolting to the factory mounts & plugging directly into the OEM electrical wiring loom. See the ESA changeover process on the official TracTive video.

Replacement ESA dampers that retain factory features and fitment

Plug & play replacement for BMW electronically controlled dampers
Reuses stock spring and electronic preload adjuster where applicable
Updated Dynamic ESA motors for wider tuning ranges and faster response
Fully rebuildable, cold-forged 6082 aluminium shock body with external reservoir
Multiple spring rates available to suit all rider weights

Recommended Pairings

Consider matching your upgrade with Suspension Tools for correct setup and servicing.
