X-TREME Fork Cartridge Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018-2019, TracTive
The TracTive X-TREME is a high-quality, closed cartridge kit for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin fork, featuring adjustable compression and rebound damping and a hydraulic bottoming control.
Both cartridges are inserted into the fork legs without any modifications to the fork. Compression damping is adjusted at the top of the left fork leg, rebound damping at the top of the right fork leg.
Each cartridge is designed as a closed unit and operates like an independent, pressurized shock absorber with its own damping oil. The large 35 mm piston allows for a high oil flow, ensuring stable and highly controllable damping characteristics.
The cartridges were developed in close cooperation with adventure and rally riders. The result is significantly better handling off-road while maintaining comfort on long-distance rides.
Adjustment options
- Compression: top of the left fork leg, 18 clicks
- Rebound: top of the right fork leg, 18 clicks
- Spring preload: both fork legs, up to 12 mm adjustment range

- Closed, pressurized cartridge
- Hydraulic bottoming control
- Linear springs and fork oil included
- Bleeder screw in each cap
- Fully serviceable and individually tunable
Hydraulic bottoming control
The hydraulic bottoming control acts at the end of the suspension travel, reducing harsh bottoming out during heavy impacts.
Available heights
The cartridge kit is available in three different versions:
- Standard height
- 25 mm lowering
- 20 mm raising
For the lowered version, adjustments to the side and center stands may be necessary. For the raised version, adjustments to the ABS and brake lines may be required.
We recommend matching the suspension height at the front and rear wheels. Ideally, the cartridge kit should be combined with a suitably adjusted shock absorber.
Individual tuning
We tune the cartridge kit to your rider weight and intended use prior to delivery.
For this, we only need your rider weight including riding 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 cartridge kit comes standard with 5.6 N/mm springs (25 mm lowering: 6.0 N/mm). Depending on rider weight and purpose, softer or harder springs are also available.
