Tractive was awarded the Dutch starter-company award 2014. We have achieved so much in the last 4,5 years that we did not realise anymore that we still are considered “starters”. The jury appreciated our unique knowhow in the area of dynamic electronic control of suspension. We are extremily proud. Check the compilation on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0v2tM2YqwI

BMW M4 Plug&Play suspension
2 November 2014
Tractive proudly announces the first Plug&Play replacement shocks for the latest BMW M4. This is one of the most advanced electronic suspensions on the market, but we finally achieved to develop suspension with more comfort in comfort mode and more handling in sport plus mode. As far as we are aware, this is a world unique achievement based on the properties of our patented DDA valve. Tests with tuning partners are running and the product will be available soon. In the picture the front Tractive shock: racing inverted strut, integrated acceleration sensor, internal DDA valve, adjustable spring preload, etcetera.

At the Intermot show in Koln 1-5 October, Tractive’s motorcycle partner Touratech AG presented the world first Plug& Travel shock for the electronically adjustable BMW F800GS. This shock has improved performance in offroad while keeping the comfort for street use. As all Tractive-Touratech shocks it is serviceable, tuneable, has a preload adjuster with 15mm stroke and internal PDS system against bottoming. Alsof or the BMW R1200GS Adv 14- with dynamic ESA Tractive now has a solution with better performance and much more tuning possibilities than the original shocks. Also these shocks are worldwide only available from Touratech.
