Shock absorber X-CITE + HPA Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016-2017, TracTive
The TracTive X-CITE is a high-quality shock absorber featuring adjustable rebound damping, hydraulic preload adjustment (HPA), and PDSII bottom-out protection. It is a suitable replacement for the stock shock absorber, especially if damping does not need to be adjusted regularly for different riding conditions.
The damping characteristics have been specially developed for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin. The rebound adjuster changes both rebound and compression damping simultaneously in a balanced ratio.
The shock absorber uses damping oil and nitrogen without a separating piston (emulsion design). This makes the X-CITE a good, cost-effective choice for street use.
The hydraulic preload adjuster's handwheel allows for quick adjustment to different load conditions without the need for tools.
The TracTive X-TREME is available with an external reservoir and independently adjustable compression damping.
Adjustment options
- Rebound: approx. 18 clicks
- 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
- Emulsion design without separating piston
- PDSII bottom-out protection
- Hydraulic spring preload (HPA), handwheel can be positioned freely via hose line
- Fully serviceable and individually tunable
PDSII bottom-out protection
The PDSII system utilizes an additional piston that generates progressive damping towards the end of the stroke. This reduces harsh bottoming out during heavy impacts or jumps.
Available heights
The shock absorber is available in two different versions:
- Standard height
- 25 mm lowering
For the lowered version, adjustment of the side and center stands may be necessary.
We recommend coordinating the suspension height for both the front and rear wheels. Ideally, the shock absorber should be 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 the primary area of use (street, touring, off-road, etc.).
You can simply send this information to us via email or reply directly to your order confirmation.
The shock absorber is supplied as standard with an 85 N/mm spring (25 mm lowering: 90 N/mm). Depending on the rider's weight and intended use, softer or harder springs are also available.
