X-TREME Fork Cartridge Ducati DesertX 2021-2025, TracTive
The TracTive X-TREME is a high-quality, closed cartridge kit for the Ducati DesertX fork, featuring adjustable compression and rebound damping as well as a hydraulic bump stop.
The two cartridges are installed in the fork legs without any modifications to the fork itself. Compression damping is adjusted at the top of the left fork leg, and rebound damping at the top of the right fork leg.
Each cartridge features a closed design and operates like an independent, pressurized shock absorber with its own damping oil. The large 35 mm piston allows for high oil flow, ensuring stable and highly controllable damping performance.
The cartridges were developed in close cooperation with adventure and rally riders. The result is significantly better off-road handling 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: on both fork legs, up to 12 mm adjustment range
Technical details
- 35 mm piston diameter
- Pressurized closed cartridge
- Hydraulic bump stop
- Linear springs and fork oil included
- Bleeder screw in each fork cap
- Fully serviceable and customizable
Hydraulic bump stop
The hydraulic bump stop 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
- 35 mm lowering
- 25 mm raising
For the lowered version, adjustments to the side and center stands may be required. For the raised version, adjustments to the ABS and brake lines may be required.
We recommend matching the suspension height for both the front and rear wheels. Ideally, the cartridge kit should be combined with a correspondingly adjusted shock absorber.
Custom tuning
We tune the cartridge kit to your rider weight and intended use prior to delivery.
To do this, we simply need your rider weight including motorcycle gear and a brief note regarding your primary type of riding (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 6.4 N/mm springs (25 mm raising: 6.0 N/mm). Depending on rider weight and intended use, softer or harder springs are also available.
