The X-CITE shock is the first upgrade for riders who want improved suspension. Each shock has a damping setting specifically developed for its application, and the spring is selected for the rider’s weight and intended use.

The X-CITE shock is equipped with a separation piston to separate damping oil from pressurised nitrogen gas. As the damping piston is moving in oil only, this creates more stable behaviour. For applications where there is no room for a separated gas chamber or when a very smooth initial movement is more important, an emulsion of damping oil and nitrogen gas is used.

The spring preload can be set for the loading. The preload adjuster has a large adjustment range and supports the highest loads. The rebound adjuster affects rebound damping and compression damping in a natural balance. Every adjustment brings a noticeable change in damping level.

The electronic eX-CITE fits Plug & Play applications. Damping is controlled by the motorbike’s control unit and original handlebar buttons.
