YAMAHA T7 EXTREME SHOCK

T7 EXTREME Shock specification in more detail

The all-aluminium shock body for the Tenere 700 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/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 EXTREME shock specification offers a range of four different spring rates to suit different rider/load weights - including an extra heavy-duty spring for more aggressive riders and/or heavily loaded machines.

Our T7 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 and Low speed compression damping adjusters (easily accessed using a slotted screwdriver).

•  Dedicated Rebound damping adjuster easily accessed at the base of the shock.

The EXTREME shock comes ready assembled with your choice of spring, and includes a longer CNC machined bolt for the bottom shock mounting (as the TracTive shock is wider/stronger in this area).
 

All Rally Raid Products / TracTive rear shocks are fully serviceable/rebuildable and come with a 2-year Manufacturer warranty. 

A choice of four different spring rates are available (select from the menu above) to more closely match your weight and riding style requirements:
 

Spring rate guidelines

We suggest you weigh yourself wearing your typical riding apparel (including boots and helmet), and apply that to the following spring rate chart - depending on whether you plan to ride mainly solo, or with an amount of luggage and/or a passenger.

Suggested Spring Rate (based on rider weight)

80 N/mm - typical Rider weight of 80kg (including light luggage up to 15kg)

85 N/mm - Rider weight of 80-100Kg (including light luggage up to 15kg)

90 N/mm - Rider weight of 100-115Kg (typically including a light passenger or light luggage up to 15kg)

95 N/mm - Rider weight over 115Kg (including passenger and or luggage up to 30Kg)

Note. Our EXTREME shock features the same 200mm travel as the OEM shock, specifically so that the ground clearance and seat-height remain the same as standard.

To fully appreciate the benefits our uprated EXTREME suspension provides when compared the standard OEM specification, we do suggest you combine this shock upgrade with our high performance EXTREME closed-cartridge fork kit, which has also been tuned for more aggressive off-road performance. 

However, the EXTREME shock also pairs perfectly well with standard (or any partial upgrade) fork components, and significantly improves the overall stance of the bike which has a very softly sprung rear end as standard, while remaining the most affordable of our three shock options for the Tenere 700.
