Dutch suspension specialist TracTive has launched an eX-PERIENCE suspension kit for the BMW R1250 GS and GS Adventure which features a newly-developed electronic pre-load adjuster (EPA). The EPA integrates with the bike’s OEM suspension control unit for easy adjustment, and is paired with a dynamic damping adjustment valve which is said to react faster and has a larger range than the OEM item. The shocks themselves have larger 46mm diameter pistons for better damping, and the CNC-machined casing is the same size as the standard suspension, meaning it won’t interfere with luggage installation. The compression settings front and rear can also be adjusted, albeit manually, by a rider to suit their preferences or environment.
The new kit plugs straight into the bike’s loom, making installation simple, and comes in a range of heights – from -50mm to +25mm for the GS, -75mm to normal for the GS Adventure – to suit riders of all statures. Prices are £1696 plus VAT for the rear shock, £948 plus VAT for the front.
