DescriptionThe whole story

The K-Tech TRDS-R is a race-derived rear shock absorber that transforms the everyday riding experience on your Ducati Panigale V4, V4 S or V4 R. Through-Rod technology eliminates the external reservoir, delivering a more compact package alongside consistently superior heat dissipation — whether you are pushing hard on a Sunday morning ride or chasing personal bests on track.

Key Features

  • Through-Rod (TRDS-R) technology improves heat dissipation for consistent suspension performance lap after lap, with no external reservoir to snag bodywork or add bulk.
  • Four-way adjustability — 32-click compression damping, 32-click rebound damping, pneumatic spring preload, and length adjustment — puts precise, repeatable tuning at your fingertips.
  • Mounting points for a potentiometer allow data-logging integration for riders who want to analyse suspension movement in real time.
  • Race-proven in the British Superbike Championship and at the Isle of Man TT, so reliability under extreme stress is already validated.
  • Direct bolt-on fitment for Ducati Panigale V4, V4 S and V4 R model years 2018 to 2024 means no fabrication or adaptors required.
  • Recommended baseline settings (compression 18 clicks, rebound 18 clicks, preload 13 mm) give you a strong starting point straight out of the box.

Performance & Build Quality

K-Tech engineered the TRDS-R around a 45 mm RCU body diameter with a 60 mm stroke, striking a balance between suppleness at low speeds and composure under hard braking and corner-exit acceleration. The through-rod architecture means damping oil circulates more efficiently, so fade — the gradual degradation in feel that plagues conventional twin-tube designs on a long, fast road — is effectively eliminated. The 310 mm overall length is matched precisely to the Panigale V4 chassis geometry, preserving the factory ride height as the baseline before you dial in length adjustment to taste.

Adjustment & Setup

With 32 clicks of compression and 32 clicks of rebound damping, the TRDS-R offers finer resolution than most aftermarket alternatives. Pneumatic spring preload removes the need for a C-spanner every time conditions or rider kit changes, making back-to-back adjustments genuinely practical. The four-position RCU adjustment range of 4 mm allows ride-height trimming without disturbing the spring platform. K-Tech recommends installation and initial setup by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre, as specialised tools and techniques are required to ensure optimum performance and safety.
