Aussie Spec Adventure Tractive products By Teknik

Originating from The Netherlands, TracTive Suspension are known for their superior quality, all their products are created for long distance road/gravel touring where the wheels never leave the ground.Think world touring.  This is applicable in Europe and the US but not for many Australian riders. We know what Australians do to adventure bikes, the settings aren't ideal for Australian terrain if you slam through culverts, launch off erosion mounds. Even the X-Treme PRO versions are not set-up for luggage and adventure riding where the wheels leave the ground. Certainly riders like Pol Tarres don't use a Rally Raid (made entirely by TracTive) shock in its as delivered specification. 

That’s where we come in! With over 25 years of experience stemming from off road, Australian Safari winning Honda XR650R's, 15 years of working with Greg at Ride Adv and more suspension testing equipment than many manufacturers have, we've developed a range of settings tailored specifically for Australian conditions. These Teknik-tuned shocks are ready for bolt-in fitment, offering enhanced performance and a smoother ride on Australia's rugged landscapes. Any tractive shock can become a TracTive by Teknik. Only the Suzuki DR650 and Yamaha Tenere XT660Z shocks come from TracTive with our settings.

These are not simple mods where a few shims are replaced. we have been carrying out this work for some years on TracTive / Touratech / Rally Raid suspension where the owners were not happy with stock performance so we carried out the work and R&D  at our own cost. We have decided to change this from a reactive state to proactive to avoid disapointment when purchasing the product. 12 month warranty applies to our work, as always, with a lifetime warranty on performance. 

Upgrade your adventure bike with our AUS spec'd Tractive Shocks and feel the difference.
