Thornton Hundred choose K-Tech suspension
British suspension specialist K-Tech's KTR4 Race fork and Razor shock absorbers have been chosen by British custom builder Thornton Hundred for its new ground-up Triumph Bobber- based custom bike design.
Utilising the talents of companies such as K-Tech, Thornton Hundred has built an excellent reputation for its project builds, but this is its first volume build - the TH Evo Bobber.

| Thornton Hundred TH Evo Bobber |
Based on its own frame and carbon fibre components, with a Triumph-derived engine giving it a power output of 120 bhp from the 1,200 cc twin cylinder engine, it has achieved an impressive wet weight of just 170 kg.

| Razor Lite nitrogen charged shocks |
That is the kind of package that places a premium on the grade of componentry used, not least in terms of the handling qualities available from the chosen suspension.
In choosing K-Tech's race-derived front fork internals and rear shock, it has given itself a top-end suspension configuration that K-Tech has been able to successfully (and mildly) modify to give it a street platform that delivers the kind of precise, predictable and responsive handling that street riders need.

| KTR-4 forks |
With a range of available spring rates, the 820 mm long by 135 mm stroke KTR-4 fork is designed to install with aftermarket clamp, handlebar, wheel spindle insert and the related component set-ups and offer 30 clicks compression adjustment, 30 clicks rebound adjustment and 18 mm preload adjustment in DLC coated sliders with 7075 outer tubes and axle brackets. They are suitable for 290-320 mm disc diameters with 108 mm centre calipers.
TH are using K-Tech's Razor Lite Triumph Bonneville Bobber shock absorber on its Evo Bobber. They have rebound damping, spring preload and length adjustment, are Nitrogen (N2) filled, have a choice of optional spring rates, anodised black finish and are a 'plug and play', fully reversible, modification-free install.
