X-TREME Shock Absorber + HPA Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018-2019, TracTive

The TracTive X-TREME is a high-quality, fully adjustable shock absorber with an external reservoir, hydraulic preload adjuster (HPA), and PDSII bottom-out protection.

The damping configuration has been specifically developed for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin. Rebound and compression damping can be adjusted independently of each other. The compression damping also features separate high- and low-speed adjustments.

The external reservoir provides a larger oil volume and better heat dissipation. This ensures that damping performance remains as consistent as possible, even under high stress, for example on long off-road stages.

The handwheel for the hydraulic spring preload allows the shock absorber to be quickly adapted to different load conditions without tools.

Adjustment options

• Rebound: approx. 18 clicks
• Low-speed compression: damping adjustment for slow suspension movements, such as during acceleration or long undulations
• High-speed compression: damping adjustment for fast suspension movements, such as potholes or hard terrain edges
• Spring preload: hydraulic via handwheel, more than 60 clicks

Technical details

• 46 mm piston diameter
• 16 mm piston rod made of hardened 42CrMo steel
• Aluminum housing
• External, fixed reservoir
• PDSII bottom-out protection
• Hydraulic spring preload (HPA), handwheel freely positionable via hose
• Fully serviceable and individually tunable

PDSII bottom-out protection

The PDSII system works with an additional piston that generates progressive damping towards the end of the suspension travel. This reduces hard bottoming out during heavy impacts or jumps.

Available heights

The shock absorber is available in three different versions:

• Standard height
• 25 mm lowering
• 20 mm raising

For the lowered version, an adjustment of the side and center stand may be necessary.

We recommend matching the suspension height of the front and rear wheels. Ideally, the shock absorber is combined with a correspondingly adjusted fork cartridge.

Individual tuning

We tune the shock absorber to your rider weight and intended use before delivery.

For this, we only need your rider weight including motorcycle gear and a brief note on your primary area of use (road, touring, off-road, etc.).

You can simply send this information to us via email or reply directly to your order confirmation.

The shock absorber comes standard with an 85 N/mm spring. Depending on rider weight and intended use, softer or harder springs are also available.
