Tri-Valve Ducati Scrambler
fork cartridge kit

British suspension specialist Nitron Racing Systems has a new fork cartridge upgrade kit for the Ducati Scrambler.
Primarily designed to complement and work with Nitron’s NTR shock upgrades, their TVT fork cartridge kits are said to offer the same level of improvements in rider control, performance and comfort “that have become the trademark of the Nitron product range.”
The system features a large bore 25mm piston “which provides significant improvements in performance over the OEM set-up and ensures consistency during prolonged periods of use.” All vital components are hard anodised with the option to specify ultra-low friction Kashima coating if desired.
Developed and tested in conjunction with some of the world’s leading race teams, independent adjustment control of rebound and compression damping are said to be both easy to use and extremely effective.
The damping control system consists of an adjustable compression cartridge for installation into the left fork leg and an adjustable rebound cartridge for the right fork leg. Both offer independent damping and preload adjustment via the uniquely styled fork top caps – a third high speed damping valve incorporated into the compression cartridge.
The valve is pre-set to react to high speed and hard edge bumps which normally unsettle a well damped set-up, especially when combined with hard braking and cornering forces. The result is described as “a balance of performance, stability and compliance, which give very high levels of rider confidence and ultimate control.”
All three valve pistons can be quickly and easily removed for revalving without the need to remove the forks from the bike, keeping workshop time to a minimum and meaning trackside changes and set-up can be done with ease.

NTR TVT RACE

Nitron say that “SuperBike riders have praised the ability of the TVT cartridges as they have felt confidence increase to new levels and lap times tumble. Probably just as impressive as the on-track ability is just how adaptable the Tri-Valve Technology is for road use, giving all levels of riders the confidence to make adjustments to achieve a more usable and more capable bike.”

The standard specification features a large bore 25mm piston, “ensuring consistency throughout prolonged use,” independent rebound, compression and pre-load, damping adjustment, unique Nitron designed fork caps, TVT high-speed damping valve in the compression cartridge, easy piston removal for trackside revalving and set-up changes, hard anodised components for extended longevity of parts and Kashima coating upgrade option (TVT Pro).
