British suspension specialist K-Tech has announced its new "Air2Spring" system - a new Off- Road Spring System (ORSS) for the WP (AER) and Showa (SAFF/TAC) front forks fitted to Honda, Kawasaki, KTM and Suzuki off-roaders.
The ORSS replaces the stock Air Spring set-up with a conventional spring system that can be set to the rider’s weight and riding style and eliminates the "stiction" (friction in direction change) created by the high air pressure of these air systems.
K-Tech say that conventional springs also mean less of the complexity that calculating the optimum balance of pressures on the WP and Showa AIR systems creates.
"As with all K-Tech manufactured products, our ORSS is made of our high quality designs and materials and will not only improve the handling and stability of the motorcycle, but also have that 'Factory' desired look".
K-Tech say that their ORSS conversion kit is simple and ready to install, requiring no machining of components, easy to set up and "delivers consistent feedback from the front forks".
The original fork remains fully adjustable in compression and rebound damping, "but with the ORSS it provides external spring preload adjustment for the optimum in fine-tuning from hard pack to sand conditions".
