GP Series A-Kit for KTM 450SX-FDeveloped and proven in 2018 AMA Supercross/Motocross Championship and MXGP experience, Showa's A-Kit suspension technology features "cutting edge" Showa developed features such as its Dimplush surface finish and Emerald coating.
The Dimplush surface finish is a unique micro-geometric-patterned surface texturing technology to improve the lubrication of sliding surfaces.
Showa's thin Emerald coating technology sees surfaces polished by a special process to achieve reduced friction and treated with a multilayer Ti-based coating in emerald colour, which is said to be superior in hardness and wear resistance for longer lasting performance.
The first A-Kit developed by Showa for KTM motorcycles is now available - the GP Series A-Kit for the KTM 450SX-F.
The company says that because MX riders rely so heavily on their suspension performance, requiring quick response on all types of terrain and strength and durability when landing jumps, they have improved the basic performance of the OE fitted suspension by designing a 300 mm long stroke for good damping characteristics.
The operational friction to be able to deal with various road surfaces is reduced by applying its Emerald coating to the inner tubes of the large 49 mm front forks and to the rear cushion rod, with the internal surfaces of the outer tubes receiving the Dimplush process.
