KYB cartridge kit by Technical Touch – "It's the inside that matters"

Technical Touch in Belgium is known for its broad KYB product range and MXGP racing service. The KYB suspension brand is best known for products such as its KYB factory kit suspension or OEM KYB suspension, as seen on Sherco and Rieju, but it also provides products for a much wider range of street and off-road applications.

This plug & play cartridge kit from KYB replaces the internals in WP air suspension KTM/Husqvarna models  such as the XPLOR, AER and 4CS 48 mm forks - "providing a very smooth feel and eliminating the harshness of the WP internals, while building up a progressive damping profile towards the end of the stroke".

The KYB cartridge kit seen here is a 'plug & play' front fork suspension cartridge made to be installed in WP air suspension models - such as the XPLOR, AER and 4CS 48 mm forks - and is "tailormade for every rider of every level," says Technical Touch Export Sales Director Diego Claessens.
"Improving the behaviour, responsiveness and handling performance of the WP suspension by installing a rock solid cartridge has been a game-changer for a lot of riders. For a fraction of the price of a new factory kit suspension, it is now possible to enjoy that predictable KYB feeling in the moments that matter the most.
"Whilst maintaining the flex of the original inner and outer tubes designed for these KTM/Husqvarna off-road bikes, the KYB cartridge kit combines perfectly with the character of these KTM/Husqvarna models - liberating more of the handling that their chassis permits - providing a very smooth feel and eliminating the harshness of the WP internals, while building up a progressive damping profile towards the end of the stroke. It's the inside that matters."
Every KYB cartridge kit comes tailor-made to the weight, skill level, preferred track type and, of course, specific to the bike model and year.
Based on the required personal setting, a matching set of KYB springs are included in the box, as well as the characteristic black anodised and CNC-machined axle brackets that are so recognisable from the factory kit suspension.
