DescriptionThe whole story

The K-Tech DDS Lite is the accessible entry point into serious suspension performance for the Ducati Panigale V4, V4 S and V4 R. Part number 245-018-070-020 shares the same precision-machined internals as the flagship PRO unit, delivering genuine track-capable damping at a price that makes sense for road riders and club racers alike — with a clear upgrade path if your ambitions grow.

Key Features

  • Four-way adjustability covers 32-click compression, 32-click rebound, manual spring preload and ride-height adjustment — all the tools needed to dial in the chassis for your weight and riding style.
  • DDS (Dynamic Damping System) technology minimises vibration and maintains consistent traction through corner-entry, mid-corner and on the drive.
  • CNC-machined components throughout ensure tight tolerances, long service life and a finish that matches the quality of the Panigale itself.
  • Fully upgradeable to the PRO version at any time, adding hydraulic spring preload adjustment and the ByPass valve without replacing the entire unit.
  • Suggested baseline settings (compression 18 clicks, rebound 20 clicks, preload 12 mm) mean you can be productive from the very first session.

Everyday Usability

Not every rider needs a full PRO-spec shock on day one. The DDS Lite is built around the reality that most V4 owners want a significant step up from the OEM unit without paying for features they may never use. The manual preload collar is quick to adjust trackside, the 32-click damping ranges offer more than enough resolution for street and circuit work, and the 310 mm overall length with 58 mm stroke is a direct, straightforward swap for the standard shock. When the time comes to chase tenths, the upgrade path to the PRO version means your investment is never wasted.

Construction & Technology

K-Tech engineers the DDS Lite around a 35 mm body diameter, using the same 55-155 spring series and mounting geometry as the PRO. Both upper and lower mounts are eye-type fittings — 23 mm wide, 10 mm bolt diameter — ensuring precise, rattle-free location in the Panigale's linkage. The RCU ride-height adjustment range of 4 mm lets you fine-tune chassis geometry to suit your circuit preferences or corner weights without fabricating additional hardware. The result is a shock that feels planted and communicative from the first lap, not after hours of guesswork.

Fitment & Compatibility

Designed and validated specifically for the following models:

  • Ducati Panigale V4 – 2018 to 2024
  • Ducati Panigale V4 S – 2018 to 2024
