Tractive Suspension X-TREME Closed-Cartridge Kit Yamaha XT-1200Z Super Tenere, black

Tractive Suspension X-TREME Closed-cartridge for the Yamaha XT-1200Z Super Tenere, Black Edition

Tractive offers an excellent suspension upgrade for the front fork of the Yamaha XT-1200Z Super Tenere. Ideal for world travellers, Adventure and off-road riders with heavily changing loads and riding in very different terrain. The special feature is the closed-cartridge.
In a Closed-Cartridge, oil and gas (nitrogen) are separated by a bladder, in a machined closed aluminium tube. This guarantees very constant and temperature independent absorption, preventing foaming and cavitation of the oil, to achieve consistent damping. The piston used is one of the largest available on the market. Compared to the original fork piston with 20mm, Tracitive uses a huge 35 mm piston. This increases the area for the shims many times over - very high load capacity and precision in damping! The newly developed cartridge system delivers both: comfort and very good performance. In addition, generous service intervals are another advantage of the new development that should not be underestimated.  

The slim design of the Tractive Closed-Cartridge Kits allows the perfect installation in the fork of the XT-1200Z Super Tenere, while the Tractive Suspension Kit is very easy to mount: Remove the standard fork and install the closed cartridge kit with little effort. This is simply exchanged against the inner workings of the original fork. No modifications to the fork are necessary. The triple clamps, brakes, wheel and axle remain intact!  The damping can be easily adjusted with 18 clicks using the cover caps on the top of the fork legs. The adjustments are separate, meaning that the left fork leg is used for compression damping adjustment, and the right fork leg contains the rebound damping adjustment. In both legs the preload can be adjusted over 12 mm.

At the end of the stroke there is an hydraulic end stop. This helps with preventing hard bottoming during large impacts.   With the new damping characteristics the bike simply has more to offer - it's the big change.

More comfortable and much more precise work of the fork, thus adding a big secuitry for bottoming out.

Different spring rates (5,6 N/mm, 6,0 N/mm, 6,4 N/mm, 6,8 N/mm and 7,2 N/mm) are available and guarantee the adaptation to individual weights.

The cartridge kit improves both comfort and performance of the XT-1200Z Super Tenere significantly - especially with different load conditions with/without luggage and passenger.
This is exactly what the modern Tenere 700 needs in order to guarantee a smooth ride on asphalt or gravel and a fast and accurate ride on small trails.
