**TracTive Dynamic (DDA) Plug & Play ESA shocks are specially designed for the original BMW ESA equipment. This shock is 100% complete and replaces not only the damper and spring, but also the BMW ESA dynamic valve, while retaining the original integration into the BMW ESA system**
The engineers at TracTive invented ESA for BMW back in 2005, so you can count on their system functionality. They have stronger and higher quality built ESA shocks, available in standard height and options for raising and lowering height.
TracTive Dynamic ESA shocks include:
- Stainless steel reducer bushings (where the bolts pass through the mounting eyelets). Other companies use aluminum which is a softer material, and can contract or deform over time
- Reinforced seal heads which are very robust, providing long life, and rarely developing leaks
- 16mm induction hardened, chro-moly shafts. 16mm shafts are stronger and flow more oil through the pistons compared to smaller shaft diameters used on different brands
- TracTive front shocks for the GS/GSA models have 46mm cylinders. This provides a stronger structure and better cooling compared to the smaller 35mm stock shock
- Faster dynamic valve which is more stable especially on rough roads or off road.
- TracTive front shocks are 100% complete, no need to send us your old shock, all parts are new
Torque spec for liquid cooled R1200 and 1250 GS and GSA model front shock is 56 Nm or 41 ft lbs top and bottom with Blue Loctite.

This message is long overdue....but I wanted to write and thank you again for your help, expertise in upgrading and transforming my 2015 R1200 GSA suspension several years ago with the Tractive system.. I installed the new suspension as instructed and have been riding ever since on and off road with amazing performance and satisfaction in every way. My memory is that we lowered the bike about an inch (Admin: lowered GSA to GS height), but I did not make any notes to verify or confirm that detail....just my ballpark memory from resizing my center and side stand. Anyway, I wanted to let you know all is well and thank you. Much appreciated. I hope all is well with you.
Sincerely,
Kevin

......the punchline is that I’m extremely happy with the new setup and I think the lower ride height (lowered GSA to GS height) will make the bike more accessible to my wife who is very sensitive to getting both feet on the deck when she stops. The dampening at the settings out of the box are so superior to the stock shocks that it feels like a new bike—especially on gravel. Thank you so much for the time you devoted to my telephone call and the help you gave me in selecting the appropriate hardware!
