Engineering decision guide
Traveler vs Xtreme Rear Shock for the CFMOTO 450MT
How terrain, load duration and damping adjustment requirements determine whether Traveler or Xtreme is the technically correct route.
Traveler Rear Shock (IFP Architecture)
The Traveler utilizes a 46 mm Internal Floating Piston design. It features rebound damping adjustment and custom spring selection based on rider intake. It is ideal for road riding, touring, paved adventure and light unpaved tracks.
Xtreme Rear Shock (Piggyback Architecture)
The Xtreme features a remote piggyback reservoir with independent high-speed and low-speed compression damping adjusters, plus rebound control. It provides maximum thermal stability and impact resistance for heavy off-road use, world travel and competition.
