DescriptionThe whole story

Designed from the ground up for the Ducati Panigale 899's original fork, the K-Tech 25IDS Open Cartridge Kit brings genuinely independent damping control to a chassis that rewards precise setup. Whether you're chasing a plush, confidence-inspiring feel over long riding days or dialling in a sharper edge for track sessions, the 25mm Independent Damping System gives you the granular adjustability to find exactly the right balance — without compromise.

Key Features

  • 25mm Independent Damping System (25IDS) engineered specifically for the Ducati Panigale 899 OEM fork tubes
  • 24 clicks of independent compression adjustment and 30 clicks of independent rebound adjustment for precise, repeatable setup
  • 18 mm preload adjustment range lets you tailor spring rate response to your weight and riding style
  • Increased stroke versus the original cartridge delivers a more progressive, controlled feel through the full fork travel
  • Aerospace-grade aluminium construction throughout, hard-anodised and super-finished for exceptional durability and reduced friction
  • Wide range of compatible springs available separately from the 36-260 series — choose the rate that suits you

Performance & Build Quality

K-Tech's 25IDS platform is built around a philosophy of independent damping circuits: compression and rebound act on separate, individually tuneable circuits rather than a combined stack. This means changes to one characteristic do not inadvertently affect the other, so you can home in on your ideal set-up click by click. The result is a front end that feels consistent, predictable and responsive — qualities that pay dividends across a full riding day as much as on a fast lap.

Every component in the kit is machined from aerospace-grade aluminium and receives a hard-anodise treatment followed by a super-finish process. This dual-stage surface treatment reduces internal friction, extends service intervals and protects against corrosion, ensuring the cartridge performs as reliably on its hundredth ride as on its first.

Setup & Installation

K-Tech supplies suggested baseline settings to get you on track quickly: oil/air cap at 145 mm, compression at 14 clicks, rebound at 18 clicks and preload at 8 mm. These figures provide an informed starting point from which you can explore the full 24-click compression and 30-click rebound range at your own pace. Springs from the 36-260 series must be ordered separately to complete the installation — please select the appropriate rate for your application.

Installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre is strongly recommended to ensure correct assembly, fluid fill and baseline calibration.
