This high quality TWIN PISTON PDS rear shock, has been designed specifically to increase all-round performance and adjustability for those riders looking to enhance the all-road and off-road ability of their CF450MT when typically used in an all-terrain 'adventure' touring role.

Manufactured exclusively for Rally Raid Products by TracTive Suspension in the Netherlands, we designed our EXTREME shock to address all the shortcomings of the OEM standard suspension, while retaining the same overall travel (200mm) and seat-height of the standard specification.

The piggy-back reservoir design features individual adjustment of the High and Low speed Compression damping together with a separate Rebound adjuster easily accessed at the base of the shock body.

The EXTREME shock is available with a wide range of spring rates to more closely match your rider weight and intended load and riding style requirements, and includes our own Hydraulic Preload Adjuster to give a further +/- 10mm range to quickly allow you to set your initial [rider] sag, and to then compensate for any addition luggage or passenger loads.

CF450MT EXTREME Shock specification in more detail

The all-aluminium shock body for the CF450MT uses our own CAD designed top cap profile to give the necessary clearance between the air-box and frame, and at the same time allows easy access to the MX-style High & Low speed compression adjusters.

The shock body itself utilises a large diameter (46mm) piston assembly for primary damping control, together with a second PDS piston/damping circuit to offer more accurate control and cushioning during the final portion of the suspension stroke. 

The internal components are all precision CNC machined from Cro-Mo and Stainless Steel, with the shock featuring a 16mm diameter shaft to improve overall strength & rigidity and ensure consistently smooth operation and durability.

Our CF450MT EXTREME Shock features

•  200mm travel - retains the original seat-height and ground clearance.

•  Large diameter (46mm) shock body and piston with PDS valving.

•  16mm diameter shock shaft.

•  Oil reservoir for increased oil capacity and cooling, featuring individual High & Low speed compression damping adjusters (easily accessed using a slotted screwdriver).

The EXTREME shock comes ready assembled with the HPA (if selected) and your choice of spring, to suit rider weight and luggage/passenger loads.

Suggested Spring Rate (based on rider weight)

85 N/mm - typical Rider weight of 70kg (very light rider)

90 N/mm - Rider weight of 70-85Kg (including light luggage up to 15kg)
