eX-Change Electronic Shock Absorbers

Teknik 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.

They are even better than standard, with another 20 years of Dynamic ESA development making the motors stronger & more reliable, allowing the computer to give wider tuning ranges & faster response times than the old damping ever could. They are fully rebuildable; with the cold-forged 6082 aluminium shock body & external reservoir easily opened, providing easy servicing & tuning for each application. We offer multiple spring rates to suit all rider weights, if your stock spring isn't the perfect rate.

They are a leap forward over factory replacements, but without the price & difficulty sourcing. Win-win!
